Tiger Woods made a messy finish to his opening round at The Masters, as playing partner Max Homa closed on the early lead at Augusta National.
Thunderstorms caused a two-and-a-half-hour delay to the start of the opening major of the year on Thursday, leaving 27 players having to return early on Friday morning to complete their first round. Woods, making his first competitive start since withdrawing mid-round from February's Genesis Invitational and just his seventh event since November 2020, impressed on the opening day but struggled in cooler conditions when play resumed just after 7.50am local time .
The 15-time major champion had just over 45 minutes to recover before his second round was due to begin, with Woods now focused on continuing his streak of making the cut every time he has played The Masters as a professional. Woods' playing partner Max Homa briefly threatened DeChambeau's clubhouse lead when back-to-back birdies from the 15th moved him alongside world No 1 Scottie Scheffler in tied-second, only for him to bogey the last and drop back to five under.
