Tiger Woods wasn’t complaining when he said “walking is the hard part” at the Masters. He’s merely stating a fact.
AUGUSTA, GA. — Tiger Woods’ 91st competitive round at the Masters will start like all the rest.
The five-mile or so walk between the Georgia pines at Augusta National is 11,000-plus steps of up and down and up again. It requires hitting shots from uneven lies. Of digging into the pine straw when required. Of trying to peak over bunkers that can run so deep — as it does on the par-3 fourth hole — you need to jump if you’re going to see the flag.
“You know, 72 holes is a long road, and it’s going to be a tough challenge and a challenge that I’m up for,” Woods said.

With a large gallery watching every shot, Tiger Woods hits his tee shot on the 18th hole during a practice round for the Masters on Wednesday.
