It’s Tiger Woods and the Masters, and in 2019 he has a chance to win. That’s no throwback. It’s time to see if can deliver again. (adam_stanley)
The patrons at Amen Corner waited all day for a birdie on the notoriously difficult 11th, and of course the man who delivered for them was Tiger Woods.Woods, who shot a 4-under-par 68, sits just one shot back of the lead held by a five-some of major champions at 7-under going into the weekend at the Masters.
Now we’re in act three. A win last year at the Tour Championship brought the golf world to an excitable apex. But still, we wait. A major championship – after finishing tied for sixth and runner-up at the last two in 2018 – would be a coveted prize, as it always has been for Woods. After snapping his drive into the crowd, again, on 15, the microphones caught Woods with an audible “damn it.”But between the celebratory fist pumps and questions of his health Woods, has, well, as good a chance as anyone to win this golf tournament.
It was wet all day, and the leaderboard is bunched. Guys were able to take advantage of softer conditions. There are 11 players within two shots of the lead.Woods, who has 11 top-five finishes at the Masters but none in six years , had a confident look to himself early in the week. He’ll play in one of the final pairings on Saturday, chasing history, as well as five golfers that are part of a generation inspired by him.Woods has hit barely 50 per cent of the fairways.
