ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Tiger Woods stood and stared in disbelief. All day long, he was missing fairways with his tee shots and now he couldn't hit the green with a wedge in his hands.

Woods tossed the club at his bag and walked toward a nearby bridge on his 16th hole of the day, cursing loudly all the way. The frustrations of a year's worth of mangled majors seemed ready to erupt all at once.

"Calm down Eldrick," a fan shouted, using Woods' given name.

If Woods heard, he wasn't listening. On the next hole, he slammed his 3-wood into the ground in anger after hitting it into the gnarly Oak Hill rough one more time.

Woods had come into this PGA Championship hoping to salvage one major championship in a year of major disappointments. But the wayward tee shots that have plagued him all year cost him once again.

It didn't get any better later in the day.

By the time his drive wound up buried in ankle deep rough on his final hole, Woods had had enough. He stood over the ball, cursing again, this time for being unable to find the short grass off the tee.

He finished the round by missing a 2-footer for a 4-over 74 that left Woods eight shots behind after one round.

"It's a little bit frustrating," Woods told a PGA official.

Woods has never won a tournament where he shot par or worse in the opening round.

ACE IN THE HOLE: Robert Allenby had a hole-in-one at the 11th hole in the opening round Thursday, the first ace in the championship since 2001.

Allenby's 4-iron shot on the par-3, 226-yard hole propelled him to 1-under and into a seven-way tie for sixth place on the inward nine at Oak Hill Country Club.

Nick Faldo, Scott Hoch and David Toms each had holes-in-one at the PGA Championship in 2001.

Allenby had the 32nd ace at the tournament since 1970 - statistics before that year are incomplete.
