Friday was different from the start, a chilly day at Augusta National Golf Club with winds gusting up to 20 miles an hour. Perhaps after Woods walked 18 holes on Thursday in his first competitive round in 17 months, his surgically rebuilt right leg was sore. He would have been forgiven for having an off day when it seemed like the confidence and resilience mustered in his previous round just wasn’t there. The rest of his day was far from perfect, and sometimes still erratic, but it had the determination, flair and dramatics of a vintage Tiger Woods golf round. Woods is tied for 19th place, nine strokes behind the leader, Scottie Scheffler.
