It was a miraculous display from Tiger Woods
Augusta crowds were only interested in one man
Hundreds-upon-thousands gathered to watch his opening tee shot, which missed the fairway, before his approach spun back from the green and his chip came up ten feet short. A birdie would drop courtesy of a spectacular tee shot on six, stuffed to within tap-in range, but his limitations showed on the simple par-five eighth with a messy bogey.
His round threatened to unravel at numerous points, but the same mental resolve that somehow got Woods to this tournament, allowed him to stay in it. Nevertheless, the five-time Masters winner would save par with another clutch putt, before puffing his cheeks to mark a spectacular achievement.
