Just struggled with the speed of the greens. They're on the slower side. They feel springy and they feel fast, especially as I'm walking on them, but they're not putting that way, Woods said. What I was feeling and sensing just didn't match up.His putting troubles became even more evident late in his round when he three-putted from 15 feet at the 16th hole and needed to convert a 17-footer for par at No. 17 to keep from slipping over par for the day.Following his round Woods went to the practice putting green to work on his pace, but he was confident he could turn things around before teeing off early Friday for the second round.I've always been a pretty good putter all of my career, that's something I've never really worried too much about, he said.
