Spieth is by far the most accomplished golfer of his generation, a three-time major victor who won’t turn 25 until late July. To Woods’ left was 30-year-old U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Matt Parziale, a full-time firefighter in Brockton, Mass., who rounded out the Masters practice round threesome.

“I’m a golf fan”, said former British Open champion Henrik Stenson. “Game feels good, and the golf course is looking to be already pretty firm and fast”.
