For Tiger Woods' 2012 PGA Tour season, his seven-under first-round triumph on Friday at the Deutsche Bank Championship is (forgive the pun) par for the course. 

It seems that nearly every major championship Woods has entered on Tour this season, he starts out with promising weekday rounds, tantalizing the public and causing a flowing stream of "Tiger's Back" stories, only to falter where he once shined: the weekend.

Nevertheless, Woods was still great enough during the 2012 season to come into the FedEx Cup playoffs in first place and the overwhelming favorite to become the first three-time champion.

Without the only thing Woods truly cares about on his trophy case this season, the Cup could at least provide some solace for the world's former greatest golfer.

So let's just say Woods' seven-under on Friday, while brilliant, comes with a cavalcade of skepticism.
