AP, San Diego :
Tiger Woods has been away from the PGA Tour too long to know for certain when a shot is as good as it looks.
This was a 6-iron on the par-3 16th hole on the South Course at Torrey Pines, from 188 yards to a slightly elevated green with a pin tucked behind a deep bunker. The sun was setting behind the Pacific late Thursday afternoon, and the glare made it tough to follow the flight of the ball.
“We can’t see anything land from back there, so we’re just listening for some noise,” Woods said. “And people started cheering.”
The ball rolled to the hole and broke a few inches in front of the cup for a tap-in birdie .
Woods brought big crowds back to golf in his latest return to the PGA Tour, and he even produced a few big roars.
