Tiger Woods' season started Thursday and he did not disappoint. 

A three-under par, bogey-free round of 69 on Torrey Pines North proved to the doubters that Tiger still had game.

Today, Tiger took his game to the (historically) much more difficult South Course. 

Would he be able to reach back to 2008 and pull out some of the magic he had on the course during the U.S. Open? 

Let's take a look at his game and find out!

 

Driving

Grade: C

 

Irons

Tiger's iron play today was again hit-or-miss.

On the front, he put himself in a lot of good positions. In the process, he made a lot of birdies. On the back, he had a rough stretch. This caused him to make a few bogeys.

To stay in contention, he is going to need to get his iron play under control. By hitting only 61 percent of greens in regulation, Tiger is not going to win.

Grade: C

His bunker play reminded me of a high-handicapper. He needs to be much more consistent in this category. His sand-save percentage was only 50 percent.

That is pretty much the worst we will ever see Tiger.

Putting

Tiger's putting was good.

He started out hot on the front. Four-under in...
