His opening performance showcased his prowess, with a flawless tee shot on the first hole followed by a brilliant putt for a birdie. However, it was his remarkable recovery on the par-5 2nd hole that truly captured spectators’ attention.
After a wayward tee shot left him in a challenging position amidst the pine straw and against a tree, Woods displayed his trademark resilience. With seemingly no viable options, he astonished onlookers by executing a left-handed iron shot, skillfully maneuvering the ball back onto the fairway.
Despite the early adversity, the 15-time major champion demonstrated his resilience by salvaging par on the hole, maintaining his momentum at 1-under through the first three holes. While Bryson DeChambeau set the pace with a remarkable 7-under 65 in the morning session, Woods remains a formidable contender, along with other players exceeding expectations despite unpredictable weather conditions at Augusta National.
Notable names such as Viktor Hovland and reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark have also showcased impressive performances, positioning themselves within striking distance of the lead.
As Woods continues his round, his strong start reflects his determination and skill, evident in his fluid movements and precise ball striking. Although he remains at 1-under through his first 10 holes, his unwavering focus suggests a promising trajectory for the remainder of the tournament, with his first round likely to conclude on Friday.
With Woods in contention and challengers emerging, the 88th Masters Tournament promises an exhilarating display of golfing excellence as players vie for the coveted green jacket.
