He joined seven other golfers who include world No. 6 Bubba Watson after four bogeys in the back nine, according to a report from Spin.
Tabuena was off to a good start with a 2-under card after the front nine, but the winds made it tough for the Filipino golfer, who missed the green on his third shot at the par-5 10th leading to his first bogey of the round.
Tabuena also had bogeys in the 13th, 16th, and 18th.
Meanwhile, Marcus Fraser of Australia ran off four straight birdies to finish with an 8-under 63, which set an Olympic record.
Fraser enjoys a three-shot lead over Sweden’s Henrik Stenson.
Tabuena plans to bounce back on the second round, which tees off Friday night (Philippine time).
