Patrons were lined up five to 10 deep to watch Tiger Woods play a practice round in preparation for The Masters Monday at Augusta National. One of his fellow partners in the round was Louisville area native Justin Thomas along with 1992 Masters winner Fred Couples. Couples told Golfweek if Woods could make the walk for 72 holes that he would contend. Woods said in a social media post Sunday he was a “game time decision” to play in the first major of the season.
