Thursday’s round at Augusta National for the 2018 Masters Tournament was headlined by Tiger Woods, making his first appearance on the course since 2015. Unfortunately, Woods finished 1-over, so he’ll be looking to improve on that drastically on Friday.

Woods wasn’t the only story of the day. The leader on Thursday was the 2015 champion Jordan Spieth, who was 6-under with a two-stroke lead. He absolutely crushed the back-nine of the course, including five straight birdies from holes 13-17. He’ll tee off at 10:53 a.m. ET Friday along with Alex Noren and Louis Oosthuizen.
Behind Spieth is Tony Finau, who had an incredibly impressive round at 4-under, especially given that he suffered a high ankle sprain on Wednesday celebrating a hole-in-one during the Par 3 contest. Also at 4-under is Matt Kuchar, who also had a good day. Finau will tee off Friday at 9:36 a.m.
Charley Hoffman, Henrik Stenson, Patrick Reed, Haotong Li, Rory McIlroy, and Adam Hadwin and all tied for fourth at 3-under.
Other notables include Phil Mickelson, who finished 2-under, along with Ricky Rowler, Marc Leishman, Zach Johnson, and Bernd Wiesberger.
