    • A Green Jacket for Immelman

      A Green Jacket for Immelman

      Trevor Immelman has never felt better. Four months after he had a tumor removed from his back, Immelman handled the wind and pressure of Augusta National far better than anyone chasing him Sunday to win the Masters, the first South African in a green jacket in 30 years. Immelman held it together around Amen Corner and stretched his lead to as many as six shots on the back nine, taking the life out of a Masters that began with so much hype.  More »

      Anyone But Masters Leads at Augusta

      As Tiger Woods finds himself six strokes back going into today's concluding round of the Augusta Masters tournament, ESPN takes a look at the unlikely foursome at the top of the leaderboard. Trevor Immelman is four months removed from a hospital visit, Brandt Snedeker is practically still a rookie, Steve Flesch barely made the cut, and Paul Casey has never cracked sixth place in a Masters tourney.

      Hole in One Doesn't Touch Tiger Territory

      Ian Poulter's hole in one in yesterday's opening round was impressive, but that doesn't bring him to the level of golf's unassailable leader. Tiger Woods, though he's sitting four shots back of the leaders after the first day of the Augusta Masters, is still unquestionably the world's best golfer. The New York Times wonders who his successor might eventually be. More »

      Surprise! Tiger is the Favorite for Augusta

      The outcome of the Masters is all too obvious, an anonymous pro writes for Golf.com. He expects Tiger Woods to win in one of his best performances yet, fulfilling the four-time Masters champion's promises that he is still improving his game. Though Tiger is making most of the tournament fields he has faced this year look like flailing children, some of the others might have a chance. More »

      Hoffman: Tiger's No Superman

      When Tiger Woods flamed out at this year's Master's, he lost more than a tournament—he lost an aura, writes Rich Hoffman. "Twelve times before this, he had led on Sunday and won. Twelve times. Twelve wins. It was a stunning record of invincibility .... Now it is over." More »

      Masters Goes to Johnson

      The storybook re-coronation of Tiger Woods had a surprise ending in Augusta, where the entire field was hobbled by blunders, and an obscure Iowan walked away with the coveted green jacket.  Zach Johnson hit a three-under 69 on his last 18 holes to finish in the lead with a one-over 289, tied for the worst winning score in Masters history.

    • Woods Hapless at Augusta

      Woods Hapless at Augusta

      The Masters remains wide open after Day 2, with an unassuming two-under 142 leading the field.  Tiger Woods is five shots from the lead, a strikingly poor performance from a player most pundits assumed would dominate Augusta in typical unflappable godlike fashion.  Relative golf demigod Phil Mickelson also disappointed at a four-over-par 148.
