MASTERS

It was Woods’ first tournament round since his car accident outside Los Angeles on Feb. 23, 2021. First, woods got to 1 under with a 29-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th hole. Then, just as the ball dropped in, he raised his right fist to the crowd. After that, it was an up-and-down round for Woods, hitting 8 of 14 fairways and 9 of 18 greens. He needed just 27 putts, including 13 on the first nine holes. After that, he averaged 283.3 yards off the tee and badly pulled four of his drives left. He was even par on the four par-5 holes and two under on the four par-3s.
