Tiger Woods believes that he is still in with a chance of winning The Masters and says that he "felt good" in his opening round in Augusta.

Tiger Woods has said that he still has a chance of winning The Masters, despite ending his opening round one-over-par.

The 39-year-old will head into the second round nine shots behind leader Jordan Spieth, as he looks to end his seven-year wait for a Major.

"I'm still in it. I'm only nine back. We have a long way to go," BBC Sport quotes Woods as saying.

"I felt good out there. I hit the ball well enough to shoot three under par."

Woods has won four Masters titles, but his last success in the tournament came in 2005.
