Masters: Tiger Woods shoots one under as Im Sung-jae leads on day one
BBC Sport says Tiger Woods shot a one-under-par 71 on his Masters comeback as the five-time champion made a stunning return to competitive golf in what he described as an “electric” atmosphere at Augusta.
Woods, 46, suffered life-threatening injuries in a car crash 14 months ago, then feared his leg might be amputated.
The 15-time major champion confirmed on Tuesday he planned to play and looked sharp in Thursday’s opening round.
South Korea’s Im Sung-jae, runner-up in 2020, leads after a five-under 67.
“There is a long way to go, it is a marathon, but it is nice to get off to a positive start,” Woods said after playing his first competitive round in 508 days.
