Tiger Woods narrowly missed several putts that kept his score from going any lower than his one-under 71 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Round 1 of Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament.

This left him six strokes back of first-round leader Charl Schwartzel. There were still a few groups left on the course when Tiger finished, but no one who had a realistic shot of catching Schwartzel. 

Woods is the defending champion at the Memorial, and he's had great success at this event, winning five times in his career. Combine that with the fact that Tiger has already claimed four victories in his six stroke-play PGA events this year, and there is no reason to think that he can't overcome this deficit to be right in contention on Sunday. 

Check out his Round 1 scorecard, and then I'll break down how his Round 1 played out.

The PGA tweeted the start of Tiger's seemingly annual dominance of Jack's tournament:



He is the defending champion at this tournament to go with wins in 2009, 2001, 2000 and 1999. It seems Tiger can win on Muirfield no matter what swing he uses, and there have been a few.

Tiger brought his most recent version of that swing to the No. 1 tee to start his round and promptly found a fairway bunker.
