It’s Moving Day at the 88th Masters Tournament. Get updates, highlights and news from Augusta National Golf Club:
Tiger also doubles the par-5 eighth:
He’s laboring today.
The final group is teeing off:
And Scottie Scheffler has already taken the solo lead. In the penultimate group with Nicolai Hojgaard, Scheffler birdies the first to reach 7 under.
No Tiger rally on the first nine:
After that phenomenal birdie at the fifth, Woods bogeys the sixth, doubles the seventh and is struggling with his swing on the eighth. He’s now at 4 over for the tournament, 10 off the lead.
The par-4 fifth is a very difficult hole:
Tiger Woods is a very good player. He hits his drive 319 yards, gets it to 15 feet from 196 yards out, makes the putt for birdie. That gets him back to even for the day and 1 over for the tournament.
Tiger and Tyrrell:
Through four holes, Woods is 1 over par (no birdies and a bogey) and Hatton is 1 under (2 birdies and a bogey).
First pairing is done:
Hideki Matsuyama and Rickie Fowler both shoot 1-under 71 to get to 5 over.
How long until the leaders?
Stagnant starts for Rory and Rahm:
McIlroy is even par on his round through eight. The defending champion is 1 over through 11. Only Luke List, 4 under through 14, is better than 2 under par on the day.
As for Tiger:
He cranks his opening drive 305 yards and pars the first to remain at 1 over par and seven off the lead.
And we’re back:
It’s 71 degrees, 10-15 mph winds and sunny as we (and Tiger Woods) get off and running on Day 3.
