Tiger Woods "sore" as he risks missing Masters cut after topsy-turvy opening round

Tiger Woods revealed he was "sore" after limping to an opening round 74 to leave him in danger of missing the cut at the Masters for the first time as a professional.

The five-time champion finished nine shots behind his playing partner and co-leader Viktor Hovland. Woods, 47, made his return to golf here last year only 14 months after a horror car crash and he has played only one event this year.

And the American superstar made five bogeys and three birdies in his first round. Asked how his leg felt, Woods simply said: "Sore." The world No.1001 hopped awkwardly after playing his second shot at the last with his feet in a fairway bunker and slapped his ball into greenside sand.
