Anyone doubting Tiger Woods would ever be able to match it with the young guns off the tee again should reassess that thought.
Woods, following a rough showing on Saturday, bounced back in the early going Sunday, traversing the first six holes in two under. But the 41-year-old took his comeback to another level at the 300-metre seventh, taking out the big stick in attempt to drive the green. An attempt he pulled off with aplomb, as he drive skipped onto the green, settling 30 feet or so from the pin.
From there, Woods dropped the hammer down, converting the attempt for eagle:

But the most stunning indication of his power and flexibility returning, check out Tiger letting fly with 2-iron some 240m a few holes later:

You can’t do that with a dodgy back.
