Tiger Woods’ painful Augusta Masters walk results in opening 74

The Hindu  

Tiger Woods split the fairway with his opening shot Thursday, confidently plucking his tee from the ground before his ball had even landed, and set off with grim-faced determination for a steamy trek around Augusta National. “It’s really cool just to be around him,” said Hovland, who was low amateur at the Masters in 2019, when Woods won his most recent green jacket. And to get to play with him for the first time today was very special, and especially to play this round so well.” Woods actually outdrove both Hovland and Schauffele at the first, and was cruising along until the third, when he caught a pitch shot high on his club face and left it short of the green. “Need to do a better job of that going forward.” Indeed, the round was hardly vintage Woods, yet the feel around Augusta National was unmistakably classic. At one point, after waiting an hour for Woods to come through and then watching him play an approach shot from the fairway right in front of them, one gentleman turned to his buddy and said: “Well, we can go home now.” Without a few more birdies, and a few less mistakes, that’s where Woods will be headed soon, too.
