Master in Augusta – Woods good start – Top trio – Sport

At the moment, hardly anyone would have expected 44-year-old superstar Tiger Woods to make such an appearance at the most prestigious golf tournament. Since the game resumed in the US in June, he has never ranked above 37th in 6 tournaments. But now he has established himself in the leading group with 68 hits – 4 under par. It is only 3 shots behind the command.

At his favorite tournament, which he had won a total of five times and most recently in April 2019, Woods played like his best for now. On the 18 holes he did not suffer a single shot loss. He delivered 14 par and 4 birds.

Frittelli, Johnson and Casey in front

After the opening round there is a trio at the top. South African Dylan Frittelli, American Dustin Johnson and England Paul Casey convinced with rounds of 65.

On Thursday the Master was interrupted for about 3 hours due to thunderstorms. As a result, the first round could only be played to the end on Friday.
