Did We Get Tiger Back On Friday?

   Did Tiger Woods finally return Friday at Augusta National?

   Or was just one more step in the -- here it comes -- process?

   That's what this Masters weekend will tell us. Woods looked like his old self Friday afternoon, hitting solid shots, walking with a purpose, staring down shots like he expected them to obey. It felt as good as it looked.

   Now it's a question of whether he can build on it. I hope so.

   This may be Rory McIlroy's Masters -- or Jason Day's -- or K.J. Choi's -- but I want it to have Woods in the middle of it. He needs to be relevant again, more than as a curiosity struggling with a swing and life change.

   He keeps telling us how close he's getting to having his game back and he presented Friday as evidence. Now comes the next step.
