Tiger Woods shot his worst round ever in a major championship on Thursday.
The opening round of the 115th United States Open at Chambers Bay, near Tacoma, Washington, was not kind to the 3-time U.S. Open champion, who will likely miss the cut after firing a 10 over par round of 80 on Thursday.
Woods, who has not won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open, only carded one birdie, a triple bogey, and 8 bogeys.
He stands tied for 152nd place out of 156 places. The only other notable player below him on the leaderboard is Rickie Fowler who shot 81 and is in 155th place.
The top of the leaderboard promises an exciting tournament with many recognizable players packed tightly together. Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson lead the tournament with scores of 5 under 65.
The youngest competitor in the field is 15-year-old Cole Hammer, who is an amateur shot a 7 over 77 and is tied for 135th place beating Woods who has 14 major wins.
In fact, Woods played worse than every single amateur player in the field.
After a tough shot in the high grass on the eighth hole, Woods’ club accidentally flew from his hands and landed a considerable distance away. His ball landed in the fescue near the green.
Woods hit shot after shot into the fescue and bunkers that line the scenic Chambers Bay course, struggling to find the fairway.
On the eighteenth par 5, Woods topped his fairway metal on the second shot and ended in a creek.
The shot left commentators speechless and somberly saying how difficult it was to watch Woods play so terribly, a far shot from the man that held the number one rank in the world longer than anyone else.
