Tiger Woods' score: Masters results, highlights from Thursday's Round 1 image

For the first time since 2010, Tiger Woods is in the top 10 after the first round of the Masters.

It’s the fifth instance in total that Woods has been in the top 10 after the first round of the tournament. He has won the green jacket on two of those occasions. 

Woods, who finished in second place in his last major, the PGA Championship, overcame some shaky putting at the start of his round to shoot a 2-under 70.

Even though he made the turn at 1-under par, Woods missed a handful of putts from within eight feet on the front nine that would have improved his score even more.

He was in first place from the 14th to 16th hole but bogeyed the penultimate hole to fall one stroke back of the lead. In total, Woods had 12 pars, four birdies and two bogeys on the first 18 holes. 

Justin Harding, Jon Rahm, Patton Kizzire and former Masters champ Adam Scott were the four golfers tied for first place at the conclusion of Woods’ round.

(All times Eastern)

Hole 18: Par 4, 465 yards

A drive into the fairway bunker doesn't prove to be much of a hindrance to Woods, who saves par and finishes the round with 2-over 70. He remains one stroke off the lead.

Hole 17: Par 4, 440 yards

Tough bogey for Woods. He had a nine-foot putt for par but missed it past the hole. He drops out of the lead.

Hole 16: Par 3, 170 yards

The birdie putt falls just short but Woods keeps pace atop the leaderboard with a par.

Hole 15: Par 5, 530 yards

Woods pars the hole, not the ideal result he wanted, but considered he spent a considerable time during the hole in the rough, it's not worst-case scenario.

Hole 14: Par 4, 440 yards

Masterful birdie for Woods on probably his best hole of the round thus far. He drove it into the rough on the left, but rebounded with a great approach shot and sunk a putt from 25 feet. He is in a tie for first place!

Hole 13: Par 5, 510 yards

It takes just two shots for Woods to land on the green, and despite a long eagle putt, he gets it just a couple of feet from the hole to set up an easy birdie. Woods is only one stroke back of the lead.

Hole 12: Par 3, 155 yards

After hitting his first shot to the fring, Woods opts to pitch it and gets the ball within a couple of feet of the cup. It's an easy par. Harding has dropped a stroke and is tied with two other for first place at 3 under, putting Woods just two strokes off. 

Hole 11: Par 4, 505 yards

Woods opts to play the difficult 11th hole conservatively, avoiding the water but setting up a lag putt that turns into a par.

Hole 10: Par 4, 495 yards

The good news for Woods: He reaches the green on two shots. The not as good news: The approach shot landed a ways away form the hole but he works it in for par. Leader Justin Harding made another birdie to extend his lead over Woods to three strokes.

Hole 9: Par 4, 460 yards

Woods converts a short putt and he's definitely glad he did. He is back under par for the round.

Hole 8: Par 5, 570 yards

An encouraging green in regulation for Woods, but he misses another relatively short putt and settles for his fourth consecutive par.

Hole 7: Par 4, 450 yards

Woods drops his club in disgust as his approach shot from the fairway goes into the bunker to the left of the hole. He is able to hit a strong shot out of the bunker and escapes the short-putt demons that have haunted him over the last two holes. It's a par.

Hole 6: Par 3, 180 yards

Another devastating miss on a short putt. Woods will par again after failing to capitalize on an easy birdie putt. At least the reason for his early struggles is easily identifiable. 

Hole 5: Par 4, 495 yards

A hole of firsts for Woods, but not in a good way. He misses his first fairway and bogeys for the first time. The putt lipped off the side of the cup from about five feet. He is back to even-par. 

Hole 4: Par 3, 240 yards

The birdie putt falls just short and Woods settles for another par.

Hole 3: Par 4, 350 yards

Woods' pitch went over the green on the short par four, but he rebounds nicely with a chip near the hole and a tap-in for par.

Hole 2: Par 5, 575 yards

Despite landing his second shot into the bunker, Woods recovers and birdies the hole, moving him to just one shot off the lead in the early going. His tee shots still look strong. 

Hole 1: Par 4, 445 yards

After a very strong tee shot, Woods' approach shot lands on the green about 30 feet from the hole, leading to a routine two-putt for par.
