Tiger still the man at Augusta

AUGUSTA, Georgia - Tiger Woods was unable to conjure up his old magic at the Masters, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm surrounding his return to Augusta National.

Woods, despite no chance of getting into contention on the final day of the year's first major, was given a warm reception whenever patrons caught a glimpse of the four-time Masters champion navigating the course in his traditional Sunday red.

For Woods, who battled back issues for years and had spinal fusion surgery last April, this marked the first time he competed in any of golf's four major championships since 2015.
