Tiger Woods will look to improve on his play from Thursday afternoon and avoid being cut at the Masters as he takes the course at Augusta National Golf Club for second-round play today at 7:30 a.m. PDT
Woods shot a one-over-par 73 and is tied for 41st overall, nine shots behind leader Justin Spieth, after going bogey on his first tournament hole in nearly two months.
Woods' short game came up big on the first day, allowing the for the former No. 1 golfer in the world to stay aggressive even after several errant tee shots.
Woods, a four-time winner at Augusta, will need to finish in the top 50 or within 10 strokes of the leader after today's play in order to make the cut. He last failed to make it to the weekend in 1996, before he turned pro.
Check back here for Woods' hole-by-hole results from the first round.
Hole No. 1, Tea Olive: Par 4, 445 yards - Result: Birdie | Score: Even (T30)
So far so good. Woods' opening drive of the morning stays straight and hits the fairway staying just left of the bunker 285 yards out. His second shot lands high on the green, seven feet from the hole. Woods' looking at a birdie to start. Woods joins Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace with early birdies on No. 1.
Hole No. 2, Pink Dogwood: Par 5, 575 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T30)
The driver remains true again. Woods hits the center of another fairway on his tee shot. Woods goes left side bunker just off the green on his approach. His short game did him well yesterday. We'll find out soon if he's still got that rhythm going. Shot out of the bunker rolls past the hole but he turns around two-putts from 23 feet out.
Hole No. 3, Flowering Peach: Par 4, 350 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T28)
Woods goes left of the fairway on his tee shot from No. 3. Second shot goes 64 yards and ends up 11 feet from the hole. Putt for birdie loses steam and Woods will make par on No. 3. with another two-putt.
Hole No. 4, Flowering Crab Apple: Par 3, 240 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T24)
Woods goes short on his tee shot sticking just ahead of the front bunker. He'll have to go up and over the trap on his next shot. Woods went bogey here in the first round. Did it. He's two feet from par. On to the next one. Woods makes par and stays at one-under for the round.
Hole No. 5, Magnolia: Par 4, 455 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T29)
Drive goes to the right side, 279 yards out, stays in play. Woods is setting up his short game nicely. Second shot sticks on the green about nine feet from the hole. He's got a similar line to the one Jordan Spieth, the current leader at 10-under, took on this hole earlier today. Two-putt.
Hole No. 6, Juniper: Par 3, 180 yards - Result: Bogey | Score: +1 (T29)
Tee shot puts Woods above the hole just off the green. He'll be playing down toward the hole here from about 15 yards out. Chip shot gets him closer, but doesn't make it on to the green. Bogey city. Woods' next shot gets him close but he has to tap it in to finish at No. 6.
Hole No. 7, Pampas: Par 4, 450 yards - Result: Birdie | Score: Even (T29)
Drive takes Woods 295 yards up the fairway. He's in a better spot here today than yesterday. Approach shot catches the edge of green slips past the bunkers on No. 7. Pretty long 27-foot putt for the chance at a birdie coming up. It's in.
Hole No. 8, Yellow Jasmine: Par 5, 570 yards - Result: Birdie | Score: -1 (T16)
Woods narrowly avoids the bunker halfway up the fairway on the tee shot with a 311 yard drive. His approach shot doesn't get on the green but he's 29 yards away from the pin. Brooks Koepka went eagle on No. 8 earlier today. Woods nearly matches Koepka with his chip, but ends up left with a two-footer instead. Birdie.
