Rivals Say Tiger Woods Can Handle Difficult Walk at The Masters
News 18Tiger Woods looks ready to manage the challenge of walking 72 holes at Augusta National only 14 months after suffering severe right leg injuries in a car crash. That’s what rivals of the 15-time major champion said Monday as Woods played his first public practice round ahead of his “game-time decision” about whether or not to attempt a comeback at the Masters.

Cameron Davis, an Australian who played the final five holes with Woods in a Sunday practice round, said the five-time Masters winner was “still a little slow going up a couple of hills on 17 and 18.” “He’s striking it well. “Just looked like the work he’s been putting in has set him up pretty well for this week if he feels ready.” Four-time major winner Brooks Koepka, seeking his first green jacket, played last year’s Masters two weeks after knee surgery and struggled getting around the layout.
