Tiger Woods\u2019 ongoing quest for a 15th major championship<\/a>\u00a0got off to a shaky start yesterday at the PGA Championship, as the world\u2019s No. 1 golfer failed to take advantage of relatively benign scoring conditions at\u00a0Oak Hill Country Club<\/a>\u00a0and double-bogeyed his final hole.<\/p>\n

Woods shot a 1-over-par 71 that included just two birdies and trails Jim Furyk and Adam Scott by six shots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a day in which the course was softened by overnight rain, Woods could not take advantage, although he made several par-saving putts to avert what could have been a higher score.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe round realistically could have been under par easily,\u201d said Woods, who chose to look at the bright side. \u201cI played really well today. One loose 9-iron shot [on the fourth hole]. I made a few par putts out there as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I say, I feel like I played well enough and made some nice key putts, and the key is I left it in good spots too. I\u2019m still right there. I mean \u2026 as of right now, I\u2019m only six back and we have a long way to go.\u201d \u2013 AP<\/a><\/p>\n
