Hibernation of the Tiger finally came to an end with the master making his first appearance in the Augasta Masters and scored a 4 under 68. His best score ever in the first round of a master.
The crowds loved him back on the course – they got their moneys worth and more when Tiger scored two eagles, again a first for him. This crowd had not come to see the tiger in the woods hiding for 144 days after the ill fated SUV bang up. They had come to see the master at work in the one thing he does best – golf.
Tiger appeared relaxed and overly friendly to the gallery, acknowledging their cheers and signing autographs.
There is another school of thought which went ballistic and called all attempts by sponsors to woo Tiger, unethical and shameful.
I for one am very pleased that Tiger is back in his habitat and that his genius is at work again. It was also good to see that Tiger had left the baggage of the past behind him as he finished the first round of golf after this break.
