11:04 am American time to announce that Tiger Woods on the 1st tee Augusta National after 508 days without competing, but before that, the majority accompanied the Californian to the training course and he was not left out on 18 holes. The final result of the tiger here first day of the masters Beating the field by one shot is a good summary of his four hours of play: very confident, focused, with short, quick steps, no sense of complacency … let’s just say he’s one Tiger, but just as effective. In a noticeably shorter swing, he entered 18th in the red and well resolved the poor exit into the woods on the left to be par and finish in a provisional eighth position.
The start was a bit hesitant, with angry gestures on the face of the former world number 1 as he fell into the bunker in hole 1, but the last pair restored his silence. It took at least six holes for the Tiger to deduct his first shot from the National, which made him smile complacently as a sign of warm-up. It was after a hit on the 6th hole, par 3, that left the ball half a meter from the rag. At that time he was second on the provisional table and, in a moment, time did not seem to have passed. Certainly two holes later, when he was flirting with the possibility of becoming leader, an inappropriate bogey came along (on the 8th and that he himself was described as “two stupid mistakes) to neutralize his income and return his seriousness on his face.
Exactly, as Tiger faces a bad start at 9, his partner in the fight Joachim Niemann was placed at the top of the classification with -3 thanks to a stratospheric eagle from nearly a hundred meters. The Chilean’s great playing moment seemed inspired by sharing the game with his idol, who exactly two months ago gave him the trophy at the Riviera Genesis Invitational.
Already in the second round and with no signs of weakness on Woods ’part, a new birdie came in par 5 of the 13th hole that smiled at him and intimately celebrated the effort made to land on the legendary Augusta course 25 years after his first title, opened the Pandora’s box for fifteen harvests since then … until now. On this 13th hole he has a clear eagle option.
Unfortunately, he came in contact with a bogey on the 14th that put him back on par on the field but he didn’t lose hope of beating the field. On the 16th a new birdie came after connecting a good putt that returned red to his card and allowed him to finish with a good par on the 18th and a standing ovation from an audience that loved him dearly.
