Filed under: PGAAKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Bubba Watson sure didn't play as though it was his first time at Firestone.
Tiger Woods looked as though he had never seen it before.
Watson made his debut in the Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday by running off four straight birdies on the back nine and making a long putt on the final hole for a 6-under 64 and a two-shot lead over a group that included Masters champion Phil Mickelson and U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell.
The shocker was Woods.
On the course where he has won a PGA Tour record seven times, Woods opened with bogeys on the two easiest holes at Firestone and wound up with his highest score ever on the South Course, a 4-over 74 that put him 10 shots behind.
If that wasn't bad enough, a fan said to Woods on his way to the scoring trailer, "You're washed up, Tiger. Give it up."
The world's No. 1 player looked that way at times.

"Just because I like the golf course doesn't mean I'm going to play well on it," Woods said. "You still have to execute, and I didn't do that. I did not execute the shots that I wanted to execute, didn't shape the ball the way I wanted to shape it, and certainly did not putt well."
