Tiger Woods felt sore \u201ceverywhere\u201d after making his comeback at the Hero World Challenge on Thursday but the 15-time major winner could not hide the smile on his face after his first competitive round since April.<\/p>\n
Woods was eight shots off the pace set by Brian Harman and Tony Finau in the Bahamas, dropping four shots in three holes between the 15th and 17th to finish three over par in a share of 18th place.<\/p>\n
But for the 47-year-old, it felt good to blow off some cobwebs after undergoing ankle surgery in April.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sore, there\u2019s no doubt about that,\u201d Woods said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got some work to do tonight. Tomorrow get back in the gym and activate and get ready for it. Hopefully hit some better shots.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now I know mentally what I need to do better. I think that\u2019s something that physically I knew I was going to be OK. Mentally, I was really rusty and made a lot of errors in the mind that normally I don\u2019t make.\u201d<\/p>\n
