Birdie: Tiger Woods' Short Game
The biggest question mark surrounding Woods heading into the year's first major wound up being his strongest asset during the opening round. Gone were the, well, you know, the dreaded "y-word" and instead, Tiger looked like the short-game savant of old at times. In particular, four straight up-and-downs on holes 10-13 kept his round together. On 11, he played an aggressive pitch shot towards the water that landed past the hole, but quickly checked up. As Jim Nantz said on the ESPN telecast, "millions of people just breathed a sigh of relief." - Alex Myers
