The 61st Masters was one of the most special, because it was Tiger Woods first start as a professional at Augusta National.

He was the favorite and had already won 3x in a span of months during his rookie season.

However, he bogeyed the first hole and the 4th & 5th hole as well. It had not started well!

He bogeyed the 9th hole as well and shot a 40, (+4), on the front nine.

No Masters champion had ever shot over 38 for nine holes.

He was distraught and seriously questioning himself after such a rough start! So, he made an adjustment!

Tiger Woods had a mental reset and shot 30 on the back. He ended up in 4th place at the end of the first round.

The COMEBACK had just begun!

A few other notable records from Tiger Wood’s comeback

• He set the lowest scoring record.
