[fragment number=0]
Don’t call it a comeback.
Tiger Woods withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open during the first round on Thursday. The 14-time major winner left after completing his 11th hole with an apparent back injury, reported The Associated Press. Woods, 39, cited fog delays at start of the opening round at Torrey Pines when discussing his exit.
“It tightened up during the suspensions and it never loosened back up again,’’ Woods said, via USA Today. “It just got progressively tighter.’’
Woods underwent back surgery in March 2014, and has struggled since returning to action in June.

Woods was 2-over par at the time of his withdrawl on Thursday. A week earlier, he missed the cut at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. It was his first event in 2015 and ended with a career-worst round, an 11-over 82 in the second round.
