Masters at Augusta – Good start for Woods – 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 resumption of play in the US in June, he has never ranked better than 37th in 6 tournaments. But now he established himself in the top group with 68 strokes, 4 below par. He is only 3 strokes from the leader.

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

Frittelli, Johnson and Casey up front

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

The Masters had to be interrupted for about 3 hours on Thursday due to thunderstorms. As a result, the first round could only be played until the end on Friday.
