SAN DIEGO (AP) – The Latest on Tiger Woods’ opening round Thursday at the Farmers Insurance Open (all times local):

12:30 p.m.

It took Tiger Woods six holes to make his first birdie in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

Woods’ long eagle putt on the par-5 No. 6 on the South Course was on line but stopped about two inches from the hole. Woods raised his putter with his left hand in anticipation as the ball approached the hole, and then spun away in disappointment when it stopped just short. He tapped in for birdie to get back to plus-1, six shots off the lead.

Woods showed plenty of frustration on the first five holes when he opened bogey, par, par, par, bogey.
