Tiger Woods’ 2011 Masters experience isn’t exactly off to a roaring start. But Woods certainly hasn’t played himself out of contention already.
Tiger Woods’ 2011 Masters Opens With 1-Under On Front 9
Tiger’s 1-under front nine 35 — which included just one birdie, on the par 3 sixth hole, and eight pars — has him in decent shape in the middle of the 2011 Masters pack on a Thursday that has been kind to much of the field. 24 golfers are currently under par, including Woods, Ernie Els (1-under), and Sergio Garcia (2-under), and 47 are at or under par for the Masters.
But they’re all chasing Rory McIlroy right now. The young golfer from Northern Ireland is 6-under through 14 holes after heading out in 4-under 32, and leads Retief Goosen by two strokes after a birdie on the par 4 14th. McIlroy has yet to make bogey on the Augusta National course.
