Is Tiger Woods still in it to win it? Of course he is! (AP Images)

Did you lay your money down on Tiger Woods to bounce back this week?

So far it does not look good.

Woods (+350) played a lot like the guy who didn’t make the cut at the British Open.

He shot a 1-under 71 on Thursday at the Buick Open, his first tournament since disappointing at Turnberry.

Woods finished the first round tied for 128th on putts inside 10 feet and eight shots back of leader Steve Lowery (+2000).

If Woods fails to break 70 in the second round this morning, he will put himself in danger of missing cuts in consecutive tournaments for the first time as a pro.

John Senden (+1600) also did well, making five straight birdies in the morning and finishing with nine to end up only a shot off the lead.

Y.E. Yang, James Nitties, Vaughn Taylor, and Brian Vranesh were two strokes back with 65s.
