All eyes were on five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods on Thursday during the opening round at Augusta National. The first round was ultimately delayed due to weather, but Woods was back on the golf course early Friday morning for the final five holes of the first round.

Woods' performance on Friday was somewhat disappointing, as he ended the first round at one over par. Woods took his second bogey of the round with an errant wedge at No. 14, his right hand flying off the club as the ball came up short of the green.

Woods chipped past the flag and missed the putt to save par. He bounced back with three straight pars before finding the sand with his approach at No. 18, leading to another bogey that left him with a 1-over 73 for the round.

Woods finished the opening round eight strokes behind leader Bryson DeChambeau, but he now faces the more immediate goal of making the cut for a record 24th consecutive time.

Woods' health has been a topic of conversation for several years. He previously underwent multiple back surgeries, but a single-car crash in California in 2021 resulted in multiple leg injuries. Woods added to his long list of procedures in April 2023 when he announced that he had undergone surgery on his right ankle.
