Tiger Woods finished his first round at the Masters on Friday morning, carding a 1-over 73 to put him 8 shots behind leader Bryson DeChambeau.

Woods, 48, was the first golfer in the practice area Friday morning, as he prepared to play the final five holes of the first round, which was suspended Thursday night because of darkness.

Homa, who was playing with Woods, had his best round in a major championship.

"It wasn't easy," Hojgaard said."The wind was swirling, and there was a lot of wind. Very pleased with how I played actually. And also this morning, it wasn't that easy getting out there that early, and the conditions completely changed with different wind direction." Woods, who is attempting to set a Masters record with his 24th consecutive made cut, will tee off in the second round at 10:18 a.m. ET. He had about 48 minutes to wait in between rounds.

On the 14th hole, Woods hit a good tee shot down the middle of the fairway, leaving him 124 yards to the pin. He didn't flush his approach shot, and his ball settled 22 yards short of the green. Woods stretched his neck and grimaced after the shot. He made a two-putt bogey to move back to even par.On the uphill 18th hole, Woods flared his second shot to the right and his ball landed in a greenside bunker.
