Editor’s Note: Round 2 is expected to begin at 9:30 a.m. The golfers finishing up Round 1 will play in the first wave in Round 2, which means they will play back-to-back rounds in the morning while those who got all of Round 1 in — like Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau — will have to wait until later in the afternoon to get cranked up. That’s just how the cookie crumbles. With sunset just before 5:30 p.m., it will likely be tough to decide on a 50-player cut before Saturday.
Can he do it again?
So far, so good for the reigning Masters champion. Tiger Woods made three birdies in his first seven holes and ended up with a bogey-free, 4-under 68 Thursday at Augusta National.
It was Woods’ first bogey-free round in a major in his past 106 major rounds. The round also tied Woods’ best opening-round score at the Masters.
“I put a lot of it together today,” Woods said afterward.
Woods, who started on No. 10, birdied both of the par-5s on the back side, Nos. 13 and 15. He hit the green in two at the former, two-putting for his first birdie of the day.

After his up-and-down birdie at No. 15, Woods nearly holed his tee shot at the par-3 16th. He made the short putt to move to 3 under.
