Tiger Woods finished with a three-under-par 69 on Day 1 of the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Country Club in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday, but he could have finished much better.

The reigning champion of the tournament, starting on the back nine, was at three under through six holes, but three bogeys down the stretch limited what could have been.
