With a massive gallery hanging on his every swing at windy Augusta National, Tiger Woods recorded a pair of birdies on the front side and was 1-under when darkness cut short the opening round.
Apr 11, 2024 at 04:44 PM ETAnd the way he started the Masters on Thursday, there seems a good chance the patrons will get to cheer him on through the weekend.
He's currently tied with three-time champion Gary Player, who made 23 straight cuts beginning in 1959, and 1992 winner Fred Couples, whose own streak lasted until 2007. A year ago, he didn't even make it to the end, his feet aching and his game in shambles when he withdrew before completing a water-logged third round that extended into the final day.
Nearly three decades after his first trip around Augusta National, Woods hit a huge, sweeping fade to begin his round. He stuck his approach shot to 8 feet and made the slight bender to quickly get into the red numbers on a day when those who went off early were going low.
