In addition to all the off-the-course story lines at the Masters this week because of Tiger's return to golf, there were lots of nice ones on the course too. Arnold Palmer, 80, hit the ceremonial first shot as he for the past several years and was joined by Jack Nickalus, 70, for the first time. Tom Watson, 60, continued his unbelievable major tournament play (he had a putt to win the British Open last summer at age 59!) shot a bogey-free 5-under (!) tying his career-best (!) and is only one behind the first-round leader! (He's 60!) Fred Couples, 50, who is in the middle of a record-setting debut on the Champions Tour shot 6-under (his career best at Augusta!) and has the first-round lead.
In addition to these legendary Masters champions making headlines, Tiger also had a noteworthy first round. He shot 4-under to break 70 for the first time in the first round at Augusta (really? wow), and he made two eagles in a round for the first time at Augusta (and burned the edge on a third makeable eagle putt).
Can't really ask for more from a Thursday at the Masters...
But there's more: Masters.com has video highlights of several individual holes for many golfers:
This is certainly a step in the right direction.
