A defiant Tiger Woods believes he stands every chance of winning his sixth Masters championship this weekend despite admitting his body no longer holds up like it used to.
Woods, 48, is looking to make a record 24th straight cut at the Masters after impressing in practice rounds on Monday and Tuesday, with partner Will Zalatoris describing his performance in the former session as 'great'.
Just 12 months after undergoing surgery on his ankle, the golf icon heads to Augusta having only played 24 holes of competitive golf this year, meaning he faces an uphill battle to make the cut this time around.
And as he aims to slowly work his way back into contention, Woods conceded that virtually every aspect of the sport is becoming increasingly difficult for him four months after his 48th birthday.
'As far as my physicality on certain shots [goes], every shot that's not on the tee box is a challenge,' he admitted at a press conference on Tuesday. 'Once we start the hole it's a bit of a challenge.'
