Tiger Woods updates: Masters, Round 2Tiger Woods updates: Masters, Round 2
AUGUSTA, Ga. — After a grinding 2-under 70 in the opening round of the Masters, Tiger Woods will seek to move up the leaderboard Friday at Augusta National. We’ll have updates and hole-by-hole coverage of his second round, so check back often. MORE MASTERS Leaderboard | Tales of Tiger’s equipment | Rd. 1 recap: Is 70 a magical number? Pre-round notes BACKING UP 70. Tiger Woods has opened with a 2-under 70 on five previous occasions at the Masters. The first three times, he followed with a round in the 60s — and eventually went on to win (1997, 2001, 2002). In 2009, he followed his 70 with a 72 en route to a T-6 result, while in 2013, he shot 73 after his opening 70 and finished T-4. LATE TEE TIME. There are 29 threesomes teeing off Friday, and Woods is in the 28th group with Jon Rahm and HaoTong Li at 1:49 p.m. ET. In Thursday’s first round, 18-hole leaders Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka both played late and had favorable scoring conditions along the back nine. Woods is hoping to have a similar advantage Friday provided the wind dies. “Sometimes what happens is you get that lull in the evening, the guys that go off real late, winds start dying down and you get probably a good six, seven holes where the wind is pretty benign,” Woods said. GOLF CHANNEL REVIEWS. Here’s what the experts were saying after Tiger’s opening 70: “I saw a golf swing that was patient. It was rhythmic. When he gets that extra length and time for transition, he seems to swing and play better.â€� — David Duval “The rhythm never changed from 1 to 18. Which is something he’s worked extremely hard on. He was in control of his round.â€� — Frank Nobilo “The guys at the top are hitting on all cylinders. He’s fully confident with his golf swing. It’s just a matter of whether or not he can capitalize on the greens. Because whoever is going to win this tournament is going to have the week of their life on the greens. And thus far he struggled quite a bit today.â€� — Brandel Chamblee
