On Wednesday afternoon, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and retired Nick Faldo were among the participants.

Weather threatened to ruin Wednesday's par-3 spectacle, but it eventually prevailed.

Thunderstorms forced the cancellation of practice for the second consecutive day.

The patrons were removed from the course and the players returned to the clubhouse.

The ground is where the true electricity is, and not the heavens. The sensation of something extraordinary, possibly unforgettable.

There are no prizes for guessing.

No matter what happens in the next four days the first round at The Masters will be all about one man. It's a story that few could have imagined. Tiger Woods is already a winner, even if he misses tomorrow's cut.

The galleries that will follow him from the first tee up to the 18th green, through the hills and valleys, are united in their desire to see the greatest player this millennium confuse pundits, doctors, and rivals.

Tiger's victory in 2019, when many of his most passionate fans began to doubt that he could ever regain those glory days, is still a beacon.

However, by many standards, just striking the opening drive down the first fairway in this year's golf season will be a greater win.

Woods' determination will come from pure adrenalin and competitive spirit. Woods' determination will be heightened this year by the presence of more adrenalin, which makes the tournament feel like a celebration of the sport and the end to the worst pandemics that have hit the planet.

The Masters took place in November 2020 behind closed doors.

Woods was just recovering from a horror car chase that nearly cost him his right foot. Last April saw the crowds shrink as Hideki Yamayama, the first Japanese winner, became the first to leave his hospital bed.

However, despite the fact that the weather tried to dampen proceedings, this week's normality was even more joyful.
