Live Updates| Tigers Woods opens with par at the Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods opened his 25th Masters with a par on the first hole at Augusta National while playing in front of a huge crowd, many stacked rows deep standing on tippy toes hoping to catch a glimpse of the generational star. Even before Woods took to the course, fans flocked to see him on the practice tee. The five-time champion is now 47 and admitted earlier this week he’s not sure how many more Masters tournaments he has in him. Woods, who walks with a slight limp, is still recovering from a car crash in suburban Los Angeles where he crushed bones so badly in his legs that doctors contemplated amputation. Woods has only played in one PGA Tour event this year, the Genesis Invitational, where he finished tied for 45th place at 1-under 283.
