Tiger Woods struggles in opening round of the Greenbrier Classic

With three wins this year on the PGA Tour, more than any other golfer on the planet, Tiger Woods seems to have the winning thing down.

Now if he could just figure out to the consistency part, he'd really be in business. For the second straight week, Woods opened with a 1-over round to start his tournament week.

After looking incredibly consistent over the weekend at Congressional -- carding only one bogey over his final 36 holes -- Woods looked like a guy who was struggling to figure out unfamiliar greens.

"I was a little bit off with my game, and on top of that I didn't have the speed of these greens at all," Woods said after his round. "My last three tournaments, the greens were awfully quick and they have a lot of swing at the end because of how fast they are. I missed literally every single putt high today."

Woods wasn't kidding. To say his putting was a little off on Thursday would be an understatement. After looking solid over short putts all week at Congressional, he missed putts from 2 feet and 5 feet during his round, and needed a total of 31 strokes (tied for 134th in the field) to get around The Old White TPC.

And Woods did manage to give himself a chance to attack the pin, he rarely capitalized on the opportunity, hitting only four of his approach shots inside 15 feet. All in all it was a round to forget -- especially on the greens.

And honestly, that's exactly what Woods should do after today's round: Forget about it and move on. If there's one thing we've learned from watching Tiger this year, it's that he's going to have good round and bad ... just like every golfer on the PGA Tour.

Every win he's posted this year has been followed by a start where Woods has struggled to get anything going. It's not a trend in his game; what it merely tells us is that the 14-time major winner is going to have off weeks.

We can't expect him to be "on" all the time. He's no longer that guy who can show up and post top 10s with regularity -- the last time Woods posted consecutive top 10s was pre-scandal -- and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's probably not the round Woods was hoping to have in his final tune-up before the Open Championship, but with three wins under his belt, it's just not worth it to get worked up over mediocre rounds.
