The 47-year-old Woods returned from injury to the golf course where he first stood on the PGA stage as a 16-year-old invited amateur player. Appeared in the tee box.

The true value of Woods, who was confident of removing the rust, was revealed in the last three holes where he drove birdies.
The sight of Woods holding a birdie on the last hole and raising his hand reminded me of his heyday.
