Tiger Woods of the United States plays an approach shot on the ninth hole during the first round of the 2018 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 5, 2018 in Augusta, Georgia.

Tiger Woods finally found his form at the Masters. It came a few days too late.

Woods closed with a flurry, shooting a 3-under 69 in the final round and finishing at 1-over 289 for the tournament.

Woods had two birdies, an eagle and a bogey on the back nine. The eagle was his first at the week. His only late blemish was missing a 9-foot par putt at No. 18. Still, he played much more like the four-time Masters champion everyone remembers for the first time all week.

"Another loose day with the irons, and I putted awful," Woods told CBS. "Bittersweet."

The former world No. 1 is returning to competitive golf after a fourth back surgery. He played the Masters for the first time since 2015.
