Tomorrow get back in the gym and activate and get ready for it. Hopefully hit some better shots.<\/p>\n<p>\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<p><iframe title=\"Highlights | Round 1 | Hero World Challenge | 2023\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kgs2RHCa8b0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Asked where he felt sore, Woods added: \u201cEverywhere\u2026My leg, my back, my neck. Just from playing, hitting shots and trying to hold off shots. It\u2019s just different at game speed, too. Game speed\u2019s a lot different than at home speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Woods birdied the third and fifth holes, but bogeys on the fourth and sixth immediately cancelled those out. He put the mental errors he made down to a lack of rhythm after so long out.<\/p>\n<p><!-- EMBED START Image --><\/p>\n<figure id=\"embeddedf7cf1af4af1147a38d10858a96b1592e\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/content.assets.pressassociation.io\/AP\/2023\/11\/30\/f7cf1af4af1147a38d10858a96b1592e.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"Tiger Woods studies his putt at the third green \" data-title=\"Bahamas Hero World Challenge Golf\" data-copyright-holder=\"AP\" data-copyright-notice=\"Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
