Tiger cards even-par 70 in opening round at Honda Classic

It wasn't the day Tiger Woods hoped for, but he'll likely feel a sense of satisfaction having finished the first round of The Honda Classic on Thursday with a score of even par.

A fairly solid round was spoiled by two shaky holes on the par-5 third, and par-5 16th, where Woods carded a double bogey and bogey, respectively.

Woods' round of 70 matches his best opening-round score in four career appearances at PGA National golf course. His second round tees off at 12:45 p.m. ET on Friday.
