Tiger Woods "Posterized" By 17-Year-Old

It's what NBA players call getting "posterized."

Basically you get shown up, slammed, buried, and dunked on.

The guy who does it looks so impressive that they make a poster out of it.

It happened to Tiger Woods in the first round of the Open Championship at Turnberry on Thursday.

Woods, who hit enough bad shots to fill the Firth of Clyde, shot an unimpressive 71 on a day that was picture perfect for scoring.

The Ailsa Course was basically defenseless. It is that way with links courses when there isn't a breath of wind.

No wind means it's time to go low and get as far under par as possible before the winds find out you're out there.

Tiger did no such thing.

The "Shy Prince of Japan" did.

Ryo Ishikawa, the 17-year-old protege, fired a nifty little 68 with an army of Japanese photographers firing away the entire round.

They'll be talking about this in Tokyo for the next six months.

You can imagine the headlines:

"Ryo Romps All Over Tiger."

"Tiger Toppled By Teenager."

"Tiger Hit By Japanese Tsunami."

"Tiger Buckles Under Heat From Ryo."

Just start cranking out the posters.

And if all of that wasn't bad enough for the world's No. 1, get this: Woods was tied by the youngest player in the field, a 16-year-old amateur from Italy—Matteo Manassero.

On this day at Turnberry, Tiger went ahead and "made the day" for two teenagers.

"Domo arrigato," Tiger.

"Cento di questi gioni," Tiger.
