On April 11, Beijing time, the 86th Masters, the first major golf tournament in golf with a total prize money of 15 million US dollars, ended the final competition at the Augusta National Club. The current world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered the final round with a 3-shot advantage. There was not much suspense all the way, and he finally shot 71 (-1), with a total score of 278 (-10) three The pole advantage won the championship and won his first Grand Slam.
Tiger Woods got a standing ovation after Woods closed his final shot on the 18th green at Augusta National. The scene is reminiscent of when he won here three years ago. With 82 victories and 15 major titles, Woods didn’t have much to gain from Sunday’s game, but this year’s Masters remains one of the greatest achievements of his career.
Woods said few people understand how difficult it was for him to play this week. Only a few people have seen his right leg, which was smashed in a car accident last year, or what it looked like under his trousers. In Woods’ words, it was a “shocking” scene. Very few people at Augusta saw him work on the ice baths and recovery that he had to do to finish each round.
“It’s hard. It’s hard,” Woods said. “I used to have painful days when I didn’t want to do anything.”
At this year’s Masters, he fought through all four rounds of pain and completed 72 holes that some younger, fitter players missed.
Bubba Watson said: “Forget the score, I don’t care. He probably won’t say that to the media, but forget the score, it’s inspiring. I cried when he made the cut. For him, It’s really inspiring to be able to persevere and make the cut.”
Watson was there when Woods walked down the 18th hole, stopped Woods and hugged him and said, “I’m so proud of you.”
Tiger Woods, who has not participated in the competition for 508 days, although the outcome of the Masters was not ideal, he handed over a score of 78 for two consecutive days, and finally ranked tied for 47th. But the amazing performance in the first round and the successful promotion to the final round have already achieved the success of the comeback battle for Woods.
It can be seen that Tiger Woods, who persisted with injury, looked extremely difficult in the last round. He only caught 1 birdie, swallowed 5 bogeys and 1 double bogey this round. The 78 is also his third in history. Worst finish ever at the Masters.
“I don’t think everyone really understands,” Woods said. “But people around me understand that there are some players who may have felt the pain I endured through some photos and things. They may have a better understanding of what can be done at this level.”
“It felt so indescribable, and I did it! I didn’t think I would be able to play four rounds, which is a good start, and a few weeks ago I couldn’t have imagined I could play in the Masters,” Woods said. “Playing with my son is one thing, but playing at the majors is another. It’s been a tough road, a lot can happen, and I’m so grateful to be at the Masters in 14 months opportunity on the field.”
Regarding the next arrangement, Woods said: “After that, I will only play the biggest game. I don’t know if I will play the PGA Championship, but I will try to prepare, and the result may be the same as this week’s Masters, but everything It all depends on how my body recovers.”
“St Andrews, that’s my favourite golf course, I’ve won two Open Championships there and it’s a course that I feel close to. I’ll be there. But it’s a short drive from the Open in July. There’s still a while, and I can’t tell,” Woods added. (Editor: Jason)Return to Sohu, see more
