Golf legend Tiger Woods made a successful return to competitive golf at the PNC Championship family tournament in Florida on Saturday. The 45-year-old, who teamed up with his son Charlie, showed flashes of his old brilliance, turning in an opening-round 10-under 62 at the 36-hole event.

For those unversed, Woods suffered career-threatening injuries in a February crash in California. Woods was driving to a Los Angeles course for a television shoot on February 23 his SUV crashed through a median and plunged down a hill. He shattered the tibia and fibula bones in his right leg in multiple locations, which were stabilized by a rod in the tibia.

During Saturday’s event, Woods used a cart to help ferry him around the course’s 7,106-yard layout. The golfer later said the physical demands of the round had been challenging.

“It’s frustrating when I don’t hit the ball as far as I know that I can and the shots that I see don’t come off the way I want,” he told media, adding that he hit only “three good shots” all round.

“I don’t have endurance. I haven’t played. This is, what, my fourth, fifth round the entire year? I don’t have any golf endurance,” the 15-time major champion said.

“It’s tiring out there, so it was a slow day. If I want to compete out here at the Tour level I’m going to have to get the endurance back and hit thousands upon thousands of golf balls. Just takes time.

The two-round 20-team championship concludes on Sunday.
