Tiger Woods almost played himself out of the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, NC on Thursday before the front nine was even over.

Appearing in his first tournament since the Masters, Woods bogeyed the first hole and two more on the front nine while only registering one birdie. He hit a mere three fairways and only five of nine greens.

T. 56 Phil Mickelson (-1)



Mickelson would have been in much better shape if it wasn’t for No. 4. He triple-bogeyed it after another Mickelson gamble ended up backfiring, placing him in the woods.

We all know Lefty loves to push the limit, but it cost him dearly on Thursday. It’s going to take a brilliant few rounds to make up this deficit.



But of the three golfers on this list, I’d give him the best odds of making a comeback. He’s the most comfortable on this particular course.

 

T. 56 Lee Westwood (-1)

The inconsistencies of the former No. 1 ranked player can be maddening.

He was sitting pretty at a three-under after 10 holes, but a double bogey at 16 and a ...
