Tiger Woods, the man caught up in a vociferous media hunt tearing apart an individual previously who had kept such a clean cut exterior, only for the real truth concerning his extravagant other life to be told to the world fuelling speculation if the ‘great’ American would ever come back to golf again. Questions aplenty have doubted Wood’s real characteristics as a person but he is now back in the limelight being checked and examined every step of the way.
Press conferences aside, and Woods whom can count himself extremely fortunate to have held onto his membership at the Masters now has to let his game do the talking, and talking it did with a four under round of 68 in the opening days play.
The Tiger may have not looked rusty, but he was outfoxed on day one by some of the game’s old guard. 1992 champion Fred Couples produced a sterling round of 66 in a six under par showing rolling back the years with 60 year old fellow American Tom Watson showing that last year’s Open run was no drop in the ocean as he hit a industrious 67 in his search for a third Masters Green Jacket.
Fred Couples (Above) rolled back the years on the first days play.
Woods, the world number one golfer has admitted he has never been more nervous when facing crowds and playing a golf tournament in recent years, nonetheless he showed off glimpses of talent which are sure to carry him deep into the tournament. Friend of the shunned American, Englishman Lee Westwood, has yet to win a major but following a positive start yesterday perhaps he has now consumed in all of Augusta and can now fully focus on some confident golf in the coming days.
The world’s most prestigious golf tournament can now relax and let its aura do the talking with the sport in question being the only talked about clubhouse topic, for now for now at least.
