sport news Tiger Woods faces playing 23 holes at the Masters on Friday with his first ... trends now By Jack Bezants Published: 01:32 BST, 12 April 2024 | Updated: 01:38 BST, 12 April 2024 Viewcomments Tiger Woods ended day one of the Masters on one-under par at the 13th hole, with bad weather forcing a two-and-a-half hour delay at Augusta on Thursday. Woods will be back out at 7:45am local time Friday morning to wrap up the final five holes before embarking on his second round. Woods opened his 26th Masters with a birdie, igniting huge cheers at Augusta and overall, showed plenty to suggest he can compete this week. But the weather delay is far from ideal for the 48-year-old and his creaking body, as he now faces playing 23 holes on Friday as the tournament schedule moves to stay on track. Woods bogeyed the par-3 fourth after sailing his tee shot over the green, but he got the stroke back at the par-5 eighth with a two-putt birdie. Tiger Woods ended day one of the Masters on one-under par at the 13th hole at Augusta Woods and playing partners Max Homa and Jason Day of Australia will resume their rounds at 8 a.m. Friday. It is Woods' first appearance since withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational in February with flu-like symptoms, and his first major in a year. Woods made the cut at last year's Masters but withdrew before the end of the rain-interrupted third round, citing plantar fasciitis. He underwent left ankle surgery later that month and has played very little competitive golf since. The five-time Masters champion would break a record held by Gary Player and Fred Couples if he makes his 24th straight cut at Augusta this week. The top 50 players and ties after 36 holes, plus anyone within 10 shots of the leader, will play the weekend.
