Tiger Woods' opening round at Royal Troon is in the books and the odds appear to be against him making the cut.

Woods finished the day 8-over at the 152nd Open Championship, well back of the leaders, who are 4-under. He was tied for 140th in the field upon finishing.

Tiger started strong with two pars before a birdie on the third hole, but things went downhill from there. He had a bogey on the fourth hole and a double-bogey on five and never found his way back to close to even.

Here's the full breakdown of how the 15-time major winner fared on Day 1 of The Open Championship:

Open Championship leader: -5 (Shane Lowry)
Woods' Round 1 score: +8, T140

Here is a hole-by-hole look at Woods' round:

Hole 1: Par 4 (Par) - Woods found the front of the green with his approach and two-putted for a sweat-free opening par.
Hole 2: Par 4 (Par) - Like the first hole, Tiger two-putted from the front of the green to stay at even-par for the day.
Hole 3: Par 4 (Birdie) - Woods rolled in a birdie putt and gave the crowd a small fist pump, getting him into the red for the first time this week.
Hole 4: Par 5 (Bogey) - Woods hammered his birdie try way past the hole and missed the comebacker to fall back to even for the day. 
Hole 5: Par 3 (Double Bogey) - Tiger's tee shot on the first Par 3 of the opening-nine found a deep bunker, forcing him to come out sideways into the rough. Woods then two-putted for a double-bogey.
Hole 6: Par 5 (Par) - Woods was unable to take advantage of either front-nine Par 5, rolling a birdie putt just past the hole to stay at 2-over. 
Hole 7: Par 4 (Bogey) - Tiger slid his birdie try past the hole and could not hole the par-save, dropping him to 3-over through seven holes. 
Hole 8: Par 3 (Bogey) - Woods' slide continues with his fourth score of bogey or worse in the past five holes.
Hole 9: Par 4 (Par) - Tiger got back on track, making par to close out his opening nine with a 40.
Hole 10: Par 4 (Par) - Tiger crushed his tee shot and left his birdie try a hair short, allowing him to tap-in for back-to-back pars.
Hole 11: Par 4 (Double bogey) - Woods had all kinds of issues on No. 11, taking a penalty off the tee and two-putting for his second double-bogey of the day.
Hole 12: Par 4 (Bogey) - The three-time Open champ lost his approach shot right into the gallery and couldn't save par, making yet another opening-round bogey.
Hole 13: Par 4 (Birdie) - Woods stuck his approach close and found the bottom of the cup with his birdie try, getting him back to 6-over.
Hole 14: Par 3 (Par) - Woods found the green with his tee shot and nestled his long birdie putt close, tapping in for a sweat-free par.
Hole 15: Par 4 (Par) - Woods confidently rolled in a par-save from a few feet away to stay at 6-over for the day.
Hole 16: Par 5 (Par) - Tiger got up-and-down from a deep greenside bunker for an impressive par-save. 
Hole 17: Par 3 (Bogey) - Woods missed the green long and was unable to get up and down for the second hole in a row, falling back to 7-over for the day.
Hole 18: Par 4 (Bogey) - Tiger closed out with yet another bogey, missing a short par save to close out at 79 for the day.
