    Tiger Woods' troublesome back is failing him once again


    The 15 times major winner has carded his worst ever opening round at the British Open, a seven over par 78 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

    Woods says it was a battle throughout the whole round.



    Kiwi Ryan Fox is in a tie for third, after breaking a tournament record, by hitting the lowest ever score on the back nine, a 29.

    Meanwhile Lydia Ko and her teammate In Gee Chun are two shots off the lead after two rounds of the latest LPGA event in Michigan.
