AUGUSTA, April 7 — Tiger Woods launched his improbable quest for a record-equalling sixth Masters title today, 14 months after a rollover car crash left him with injuries so severe he feared he would lose his right leg.
The 46-year-old, who has dropped to 973rd in the world rankings, said Tuesday he thought his game was good enough to win a 16th major championship.
But he acknowledged his surgically repaired leg was an unknown quantity heading into his first top-flight competitive round in 17 months on the hilly, 7,510-yard Augusta National course. — AFP
