    Thursday's opening round would look rather ordinary when compared with everything else that Tiger Woods has done in his career.

    But when you consider what the past week has been like for the world's No. 1 golfer, a 1-under-par 71 at Whistling Straits looks pretty good.

    Woods birdied three of his first four holes at the fog-delayed PGA Championship, gave it all back, then birdied his final hole, the ninth, to shoot a subpar round for the first time since the opening round of the Open Championship at St. Andrews last month.

    "I played too good not to shoot under par, and it would have been very disappointing and frustrating to end up at even par as well as I played today," said Woods, who was 3 strokes behind leaders Bubba Watson and Francesco Molinari. "To shoot under par just feels like less than I should have shot for the way I played today and that's a good feeling."
