Australian sports fans were on Monday pining for more of Tiger Woods after the world’s best golfer’s masterclass to win the Australian Masters.

American golf tended to make its greens too soft and it was ”infatuated” with long courses, Tiger Woods said in Melbourne on Friday.

Tiger Woods made a spectacular start to the Australian Masters but marred his opening round with a final hole bogey at Kingston Heath on Thursday.

Tiger Woods may be a clear favourite for this week’s Australian Masters, but the Aussie contingent should not be discounted.
