The 14 times major winner played well in his opening round at Augusta National and should arguably have finished with a better score than one under par. The American was, however, happy with his start to the 2011 Masters.

"I hit a lot of beautiful putts," he said. "And they were just skirting the edge. I was hitting my lines and they just weren't going in. I felt really comfortable with it. So hopefully they will start going in.

"I hit a couple bad ones, but overall felt really good over the putts. Realistically the round probably should have been 68, 69."

Woods nevertheless said he was happy with his opening round at Augusta and believes that he is close enough to the leaders to challenge over the next three days.

"It's a long way to go. We have a long grind ahead of us," he said. "The temperature's supposed to warm up and I'm sure they will start making the pins a little more difficult as the week goes on.

"I'm very pleased. I'm right there in the ball game. I'm only six back and we've got a lot of golf ahead of us."

Rory McIlroy and Alvaro Quiros currently share the lead on 7 under par after shooting opening rounds of 65.
