This is the only golf tournament I
pay attention to, for good reason...
A bullish and confident Tiger Woods declared himself “right where I need to be” after marking his remarkable recovery from serious injury with a one-under-par round of 71 at the Masters.
Woods, having not played competitive golf since November 2020 and 14 months on from a serious car crash that left him fearing his lower right leg may need to be amputated, commanded huge gallery support on day one at Augusta National. The crowds were left impressed: Woods made three birdies and two bogeys to sit just four shots from the lead. He has victory in his sights.
“I was able to finish up in the red,” said Woods. “I am right where I need to be. The place was electric. I had a terrible warmup session. I hit it awful.
I went back to what my dad always said. ‘Did you accomplish your task in the warmup? It’s a warmup. Did you warm up?’ Yes, I did. ‘Now go play.’ That’s exactly what I did, I went and played.
We'll see how he does today. See if he makes the cut.
If he does, it's all bets off.
