Tiger Woods used to play golf at a level that most PGA players dreamed of reaching. Now, he hits shots familiar to every weekend duffer.

Finishing out a horrible first round of the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, Woods topped a fairway wood on the 18th that left the announcers speechless.

How bad was Tiger’s round of 80? The 14-time major winner finished four places out of last place in the 156-player field and is three strokes behind 15-year-old Cole Hammer.
