Four-time Masters champion Tiger Woods has said that he believes he can play just as well as at the peak of his career at this week's Augusta event.
The former world number one has been playing improved golf this year and ended his 30-month winless streak on the PGA Tour by winning at Bay Hill recently.
"I think I have more shots than in 2000," the 36-year-old said. "I'm hitting the ball as consistently day-in, day-out as I did then."
"I feel like I'm driving the ball much better than I have.
"I've got some heat behind it and its very straight. My iron game is improving. So everything is headed in the right direction at the right time."
Woods has been paired with Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez and South Korean Bae Sang-moon in Thursday's opening round of the first major of the year.
