Tiger Woods is currently seven-under par through the first round of the 2012 Deutsche Bank Championships and is tied for sixth. Rory McIlroy, through 10 holes in round two, sits a top the leaderboard.

Tiger did have a nice opening round, shooting a 64, three strokes off the course record. He also led the field in greens.

But Tiger is not alone in the hunt for the title and several things stand in his way to get the victory.

 

Putts

Tiger struggled a bit with his putter, finishing 58th in the field. Of course, Tiger is going to have to improve on that if he wants to win. He's facing competition, such as McIlroy, who can putt well, and unless his short game improves, Woods will fall down the stretch. His putter hasn't been his best friend of late and yesterday's performance was no different. 

 

Competition

Tiger's competition is rough. Leading the pack is Rory McIlroy. McIlroy has been having a terrific year, winning the PGA Championship and the Honda Classic. The 23-year-old is currently the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world. He's already off to a hot start in the second round.

Seung-yul Noh got off to a blistering start, shooting a terrific 62 in Round 1. He's still looking for first ever PGA tour win, but if he can continue his great play he will be a contender. Through 15 holes, he's two-under.

Ryan Moore finished with a 64 in the first round. He has had two top-10 finishes so far and is a very accurate driver. Through 15 holes today, he's two-under. He led the field in birdies after Round 1.

Tiger has to play as well, if not better, than his competitors and hope for one to struggle. Noh is the best best to falter, giving his lack of experience, but McIlroy is the best golfer in the world right now and Moore has been having a solid year. It's going to be an uphill climb for Woods.
