«I can hit it just fine. I don’t have any qualms about what I can do physically from a golf standpoint. »Walking’s the hard part.

This is normally not an easy walk to begin with. Now given the condition my leg is in it gets a little more difficult. /> «72 holes is a long road and it’s going to be a tough challenge and a challenge that I’m up for.

/> »You guys know me better than that. I don’t show up to an event unless I think I can win it. That’s the attitude I’ve had.

«There’ll be a day when it won’t happen and I’ll know when that is.» /> Why is there such a buzz around Tiger competing at Augusta? An estimated gallery of 60,000 watched Woods play nine holes on Sunday and nine holes on Monday at Augusta National as the 15-time major winner decided whether or not he is fit enough to potentially compete in the season's first major. It would be a miraculous return for the 46-year-old Woods, who announced last week he was hoping to compete at the fabled venue only 14 months after suffering life-threatening injuries in a car crash. Woods played nine holes on Sunday with Justin Thomas and the 1992 Masters champion Fred Couples in practice on Sunday.

“What impressed me the most is he’s bombing it,” said Couples. «I know JT is not the longest hitter on the tour, but he’s damn long, and he was with him. Flushing it.
