THE BATTAL|
Woods wins, earns third green jacke
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) —
Tiger Woods’ march toward
Masters history could not be
stopped by the best golfers in the
world nor a tougher Augusta
National course.
Woods made short work of
the tournament’s redesigned
course Sunday, and had an even
easier time against a collection
of top-ranked players who
scrambled for the sidelines.
He became only the third
player to win back-to-back
Masters.
An early burst of birdies gave
him control, and Woods never let
anyone closer than two strokes
the rest of the way. He closed
with a 2-under 70 to claim a
three-stroke victory over U.S.
Open champion Retief Goosen.
Despite all the course changes,
the scene was familiar: Woods
walking up the 18th fairway in a
victory parade, tugging on his cap
to acknowledge the applause.
Woods looked to the sky and
smiled when his 18-foot birdie
putt just missed, but he tapped in
for par and walked over to hug
his parents.
He finished at 276 and won
a green jacket for the third time
in five years. He became the
first player to repeat as Masters
champion since Nick Faldo in
1990. Jack Nicklaus was the
only other, in 1965-66, and
Woods’ victory put him
halfway to Nicklaus’ mark of
six Masters.
Last year. Woods battled Phil
Mickelson and David Duval
down the stretch to become the
first player to sweep the four
majors consecutively.
Another tight finish loomed
Sunday with six of the top seven
players in the world bunched on
the leaderboard. By the end of
the day, they were scratching
their heads.
“We were all trying to make
something happen to catch
Tiger, because we knew he
wasn’t going to falter,” said
Mickelson, who closed with a
71 to finish third.
Woods accepted his green
jacket from Augusta National
chairman Hootie Johnson — tra
ditionally that is the job of the
defending champion.
Johnson ordered the course
redesigned to make the tourna
ment a tougher test. The changes
added 285 yards to the length of
the course, stretched bunkers
and shifted the tees.
Rain softened the course and
allowed for lower scoring, but
perhaps it was Woods’ presence
that turned so many top chal
lengers into mush.
Two-time U.S. Open champi
on Ernie Els tried to charge and
wound up with an 8 by hitting
into the trees and into the creek.
Former Masters champion
Vijay Singh went into the
creek, the crowd and the trees,
then took a 9 on No. 15.
Goosen, who started the final
round tied with Woods, was
already three strokes behind
after three holes.
“I was kind of surprised, no
doubt about it,” Woods said
about no one making a run. “But
that doesn’t deter me from my
concentration.”
Can anyone catch Tiger?
“We’ve been over this 100
Tiger Woods waves to the crowd after capturing his second-strar
green jacket at The Masters. Woods won his third Masters title SundJ
times,” Thomas Bjorn said.
“This being the Masters and him
being up there, it obviously puts
you under a bit of pressure.”
It was similar to Woods’
record-breaking season in 2000,
when he won the U.S. Open by a
record 15 strokes and the British
Open by eight strokes.
The praise sounds familiar,
too.
“Give him a couple of more
years, and I think Tiger will be
L
greater than even
Nicklaus,” Goosen said.
Woods is sure getting close:
He won his seventh
sional major, joining a
includes Bobby Jones, Ger;
Sarazen, Sam Snead and Arno
Palmer, who made this Master
his 48th and last.
Woods also became
player since the Masters beg’
in 1934 to win a major champ-
onship four years in a row
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Mariners hold off
Rangers, 9-7
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ruben
Sierra went 5-for-5 against his for
mer team to overcome a pair of
home runs by Alex Rodriguez as the
Seattle Mariners beat the Texas
Rangers 9-7 Sunday for their seventh
straight win.
Sierra, who hit a grand slam Friday,
hit a single that put the Seattle ahead
to stay after the Mariners bounced
back from a 5-1 deficit.
Rodriguez had a two-run homer
in the fourth and a three-run drive
in the sixth for his 21st career mul
tihomer game. Rodriguez and
Rangers starter Kenny Rogers were
participants in a fourth-inning triple
play, the first in the major leagues
this season.
Seattle, which had 18 hits, scored
eight runs against the bullpen to
improve to 7-0 in the road. The
Mariners set an AL record with 59
road wins last season.
With the game tied at 7 in the
eighth, Mike Cameron drew a walk
from Rudy Saenez (0-2), took second
on a wild pitch and scored on
Sierra’s single. The five hits by Sierra
matched his career high.
