Tiger hit 7-over-par (79) on the first day. Greg Norman was in the lead, 12 shots over Tiger Woods (67). The Jack Nicklaus-designed course was apparently pretty windy and rainy which made conditions difficult.
There were reports flying around that President Clinton would play a round with either Tiger Woods or Greg Norman. President Clinton ended up playing against Greg Norman on Thursday, after Norman's early tee-time. The President reportedly used a lot of "mulligans".
On the second round, Tiger hit a par 72, which enabled him to make the cut. Only two players were able to hit below par, as conditions continued to be difficult (rain contributed to a very soggy course). Tiger had to wait through a two-hour delay before completing his round.
"I've always enjoyed playing in bad weather for some reason," he said, according to Clari News. "It was pretty brutal out there. Most of the birds were even walking."
Tiger also had this comment, according to Clari News: "In the States, we play so many golf courses these days where creativity is taken away. It's all target golf and that's not a lot of fun on a day in, day out basis."
For the third round, Tiger managed to shoot 1-under-par (71), to put him at 222.
For the fourth round, Tiger managed one shot better, shooting 2-under-par (70). He finished with a 292, which made him tied for fifth. Greg Norman won the tournament handily, 8 shots ahead of Wayne Grady.
Tiger Woods picked up a cold due to the inclement weather, although he didn't use this as an excuse. I know I would have!
Woods does plan to return to Australia for the Australian Masters in Melbourne next year, February 13 to 16.
