Making his first appearance in a PGA Tour event since missing the cut at the British Open two weeks ago, Tiger Woods put together one of his most encouraging rounds at the Quicken Loans National event. 

After a sluggish start that included three bogeys in the first four holes, Woods had six birdies in a nine-hole stretch that helped him finish at three under for the day and in a tie for 28th place. 



There have been glimmers of hope for Woods this season, but he's never been able to sustain any momentum. He played the Greenbrier Classic four weeks ago and posted three rounds under par, but that was followed by the disaster at St. Andrews.

I'm not really there in contention very often and so that part is frustrating. But I know how close it feels and I know that I just need a couple shots here and there and it turns the tide. Every time I've had those opportunities (recently) I haven't done it.

Thursday's opening round was another step in the right direction, especially the way he bounced back from a horrible start. In fact, per Golf Digest, Woods had a four-hole stretch from No. 10 through 13 that was his best run in two years:



Being able to consistently put himself in a good position to make putts is what helped Woods, as evidenced by this shot on the 12th hole, per PGA Tour:



It sounds so simple to say that getting to the green in regulation is what a player must do to find success, but the numbers proved that for Woods on Thursday.
