He walked off the green with a bemused expression that seemed to say: What? Two holes later, he was at it again, knocking a wedge shot from 107 yards that landed on a devilishly contoured green and stopped 13 inches from the hole for another birdie. Woods’s comeback after a five-month layoff because of the coronavirus pandemic was about 45 minutes old and he was two under par. The rest of the day was not quite a romp to the top of the leaderboard at the Memorial Tournament, where Woods is a five-time champion. But by any measure it was still a success, especially since Woods looked fit and his swing relaxed and fluid.
