Justin Thomas mocks himself—and a fan—over surprising three-putt in Mexico
Harry HowJustin Thomas got off to a great start at the WGC-Mexico Championship with an opening 66 at Club de Golf Chapultepec on Thursday. But it's hard not to think his round should have been at least a couple shots better. You see, while others like Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson drove the course's short par-4 1st with irons, Thomas only made par. And then there's what he did after driving the green at a different par 4.

On No. 12, Thomas struck arguably the shot of the day, a booming drive that traveled 409(!) yards before settling 12 feet from the hole. Not surprisingly, the PGA Tour shared this incredible highlight from one of its brightest stars. It just didn't mention how the rest of the hole played out. But Thomas was happy to fill in the details by poking fun of himself.

Tiger Woods’ first-tee introduction was a sight to behold. His tee-shot, not so much
Tiger Woods has won the WGC-Championship seven times in his career, but this is the 14-time major winner's debut appearance at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Naucalpan, Mexico. As we've seen throughout the past 16 months in his comeback campaign, the latest iteration of Tiger-mania evokes a special type of fervor, a passion especially expected at a town he's visiting for the first time.
So when Woods arrived to the opening hole on Thursday, he received the hero's welcome you'd imagine.
Including from the first-tee announcer:

Apparently said announcer had done his prep by watching the not-at-all classic Down to Earth:
Unfortunately for Woods, his tee shot did not live up to the introduction, sending his drive off the property and having to reload:

Results be damned. We'll always have Naucalpan.
