"There are six players under par at the Masters, and one of them is a 46-year old with five green jackets."

Landed his tee shot on 6 just a couple feet from the hole!

Tiger is locked in after 17 months away from competition.

This is going to be fun to watch.

The Masters website is pretty sweet. You can click on a player and rewatch every shot they've made.

Tiger @ -1 (T10)

Leaders @ -3

Cameron Smith is a damn good golfer.

Currently at -6 and hitting fairways and greens with regularity.

He’s going to be tough to beat

[fan_since79]

Smith started with a double bogey then figured out the course quickly.

It's easy to think that "oh, Tiger's just being Tiger and playing well", but what he's doing is absolutely remarkable.

That birdie putt was epic Tiger.

That makes what Smith is doing even more amazing.  To start with a double bogey, then shoot -8 since, at Augusta is simply awesome.  
 

Vintage Tiger-esque

I love the shot tracker. Tiger on the fairway of 17 you could see the flag fluttering in the background and the tracker shows the ball arch heading right at the pin. On the hole side the camera catches that ball land just short and a few feet right of the hole and roll gently past for a makeable birdie putt. 

[PattyD22]

I know it’s early, but I put a prop bet on Tiger 3 days ago to finish Top 10 at +480.

Small 50 dollar bet.  I’d love to see Tiger make the cut and see how the field reacts to him stalking the leaders.

That would be such an awesome story

You may be partying pretty hard Sunday.

Yikes, posted too soon, Tiger just pulled only his second tee shot way left. He is going to have a tough recovery shot from the tree line. 

[Blarg]

Wow, the last the cameras saw of Woods golf ball was it was in the tree line. It must have ricocheted back towards the fairway and he just got a 2 club relief from casual water and ended up hitting from the secondary rough.

If Tiger pulls this off on 18, maybe it’s just destiny?  There is no other explanation.

Unbelievable luck Blarg.

Holy fuck.   That’s an unbelievable save

Looks results oriented now as he just finished, but this is a really solid prop bet. I wasn't on board with dropping money on him to win, but 10th or better is super realistic the way he knows this course.

Tiger's 3rd on 18 was the shot of the day.

Yeah, I never even considered laying down a bet on his play this weekend.

No offense, but it's not exactly hard. What makes this event unique is also that it has the same conditions every time. Same pristine grass cuts, green speed, hole locations for all four days, and outside of length they added many years ago it's basically the same exact course with the same Thursday conditions and hole placements.

[Blarg]

Finishing 1 under is an excellent round, this is the Masters and even par in the first round is a feat. Both of his errant tee shots that left him with a long approach he converted and made it look easy. Hard to believe he has so many shots in his bag today with only practice rounds to get ready.
