Tiger in Turnberry at the Open Championship

I watched some of the first round coverage of the Open Championship. I love Tiger Woods. He's my favorite golfer, as i was a fan of Jack Nicklaus, and have followed and supported Tiger since he started in 1997.
Today his swing was off. for him, way off. He was not in sync. His back swing was off line and he was trying to pull it through and clear his hips, throwing his front ( left ) foot off on his drives, and was pushing his tee shots too often out to the right.
this is messed up. I know he spent a lot of his day after his first round on the range trying to get the swing fixed. He also drops his head at the top of his swing as he starts down with it and that can drive the head of his club down to far.
I never count out Tiger, especially at a major. But i am seriously concerned
he is tied for 68th after one round, and he will need to shoot 65 or 64 tomorrow in round two. He needs to move up to the 20s or 30s in place, as he now trails 67 golfers. if he shoots another 71 tomorrow, unless the weather turns foul and a lot of men shoot 73 to 78, he wont make the cut.
I do not see him winning the Open Championship this year.
