Palmer is the George Bailey of golf. George Bailey, the main character played by Jimmy Stewart in the classic Christmas movie, gets a chance to see what the world would have been like — specifically his hometown of Bedford Falls — if he had never lived. As Palmer twisted into his corkscrew follow through, the iconic image triggered a nightmarish vision of what golf would have been like without Palmer.

Not shaking-in-his-spikes nervous, not sweat-pouring nervous. But there were butterflies floating beneath those six-pack abs, and plenty of evidence on the scorecard to suggest that Thursday’s first round at the Masters was anything but a leisurely stroll for the four-time champ. Augusta National is not the birdie haven it once was for Woods, who famously cruised to a 12-shot victory 11 years ago when he set the tournament scoring record at 18 under par.
