Tiger Woods scored a six-over 78 in the third round of the Masters Tournament on Saturday from Augusta National Golf Club. Woods returned to professional golf this weekend after suffering serious injuries to his right foot in a car accident in February 2021. He had not made a professional start for 508 days before Thursday. Saturday was difficult at times, as Woods’s golf course seemed more arduous than Thursday and Friday.

In addition, it was removed just 15 months after the fifth back surgery, which occurred the month before the crash. Per Dan Rapoport of Golf Digestit was a “microdiscectomy procedure on his back to remove a fragment of a disc under pressure that pinched a nerve.” The 2021 season was already on hold because of him, but then Woods did not even know if he would walk again after the crash. An amputation of the leg was also a possibility. The fact that the 46-year-old Woods is even out there walking the path, making the cut and competing with the best in the world is quite remarkable. Other golf stars did not make it to the weekend (eg Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth and Bryson DeChambeau), but Woods did and seems ready to finish all four rounds. As for Woods’ interpretation of the third round, he started with a boob at No. 1 before orchestrating a bird in the first second. He almost made an eagle from the shore shelter before deciding on the bird to return to one.

It was the 1,661st hole of his playing career. Others came in the first round in 2005. The nets in the ninth and 11th holes threw Woods in the five over, but he bounced with birds at No. 12 and 13.

Finish the day with six overs for the round and seven overs for the tournament. Woods may be out of contention, but the rest of the pitch minus Scottie Scheffler could also be due to the World Golfer’s No. 1 dominance this weekend. However, Woods’ ability to play is quite impressive and he will try hard to complete his performance at the Masters on Sunday.
