Grading Tiger Woods' Round 1 Performance at the 2018 Masters

Tiger Woods' 2018 Masters got off to an entertaining start on Thursday, as he posted a score of 73 to finish one over par.

The 14-time major champion struggled on the front nine after an early birdie, although a couple of bogeys saw him out in one-over.

Woods was slow to get going after the turn, too, and dropped another two shots around Amen Corner. The 42-year-old got back to two-over with a birdie at 14 and picked up another with an excellent putt at 16.

Woods' recent form has meant there has been plenty of focus on the four-time Masters winner ahead of Day 1 at Augusta.
