Woods mimicked a basketball-like shot after carding a birdie at the eighth hole, which featured a tribute to Kobe Bryant
Bryant wore 8 and 24 during his 20-year career in the NBA and the significance wasn't lost on Woods.
"It's ironic, isn't it? It was a nice way to start," he said at the end of the first round."I didn't know about the putt being that long. As I said, ironic that having those two numbers. And then No. 8, happened to hit one in there close and had a nice little kick in there for birdie. "No matter what we do, I think for a while we're going to always remember Kobe and what he meant, and especially here in Southern California and the entire sports world. Like I said, very ironic that I happened to have those numbers on those holes and those exact measurements.''
