A disastrous Tiger Woods shot shows how unforgiving the rough is at this year’s U.S. Open

Yikes.

We were warned, as we are every year, about the rough at the U.S. Open.

On Thursday, at Winged Foot, we saw none other than Tiger Woods take a shot from the rough in his first round … and man, did he have trouble getting it out.

Yeesh. Good luck out there, golfers. And as for Tiger? He ended up with some good shots elsewhere:
