At the end of an eventful day, even Woods was surprised. "A little bit, yeah," he acknowledged.
But as good as his start to the tournament was, the tone of the Woods comeback wasn't determined by his three birdies or the two eagles, but by the fans.
He was embraced, encouraged and applauded. We saw Thursday that forgiveness is possible; that people are willing to give Tiger Woods a second chance.
"The people, I haven't heard them cheer this loud in all my years here," he said.
"So it certainly helped keep my spirits up because I was certainly missing a bunch of putts out there. It helps when you get the crowd like that.
"I said thank you all the way. I was saying thank you all day. The people were just incredible, incredible all day."
