0:00.0	Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon. I am your host Shane Bacon, and Tiger finally returned to golf.
0:10.5	18 players, 144 players, it doesn't matter. Tiger Woods was playing four days injury-free golf on our televisions.
0:19.2	We got to watch it. We got to see them do some great stuff, some not
0:22.8	great stuff, but for the most part, a successful return to golf for Tiger Woods, the 40-year-old,
0:29.6	that really brings so many more people to the game. And it was, it really, I would say,
0:35.0	it was an important week for 2017. If you went out there and really, really struggled, I would say it was an important week for 2017.
0:38.4	If you went out there and really, really struggled, I think people would have been a bit down on what could happen in 2017.
0:45.1	Now people are talking about chances of winning, his ability to move the ball right to left and possibly contended Augusta National.
0:51.6	I mean, maybe some of this stuff is overblown.
0:53.3	But frankly, we haven't seen him play golf like he played in stretches in a long, long time.
0:59.0	That Friday 65 was near flawless. He didn't make a bogey, of course, but just birdie after
1:04.4	birdie after birdie hitting some stone dead iron shots. He looked comfortable with the wedges.
1:09.4	For the most part, there were a couple
1:10.9	iffy ones, but it seemed like all the players were having problems with that. We watched Patrick
1:14.7	Reed Duff a couple of chips early in his run on Thursday, playing alongside Tiger Woods.
1:19.3	So all in all, a great return from the 14 major champion. And I think I can speak for every
1:24.8	golf fan when I say, thank thank goodness because the last thing we wanted
1:28.7	to do is see him struggle mightily and finish at the bottom of the leaderboard. He did finish near
1:34.0	the bottom of the leaderboard. Out of 18 guys, he finished 15th. Justin Rose, of course, WD. Didn't
1:38.4	really have a chance to make up any room on Tiger after that opening round, but it didn't really
1:42.6	matter where he finished. It's what we saw within the 72 holes.
1:46.4	And that's what I think most people are excited about, hopeful for, and we'll see.
