Tiger Woods holds on to win Masters for first major tournament victory since 2008 and 15th overall
Tiger Woods draws a crowd. By Cindy Boren Cindy Boren Reporter covering sports, with an emphasis on politics and national stories Email Bio Follow April 14 at 2:30 PM The roars and the magic returned to golf Sunday at the Masters as Tiger Woods, among all the things he has accomplished across a storied career, managed to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.
— Masters Tournament April 14, 2019 With a birdie at the 15th hole, it looked as if Woods just might write one of the great comeback stories in sports, moving to 13 under and taking the lead outright with three holes to play. Dustin Johnson had a chance to tie him on 18, but missed his birdie putt.
The 10th hole looked like a trip into “The Twilight Zone.” Woods sent his tee shot to the side, behind a magnolia, while Molinari and Finau went the other way, sending their shots down a steep hill. Finau’s shot was a beauty, ending up a foot or two from the flag. Molinari took relief because of a drain head and nearly put his shot into the hole. He was left with a short uphill putt for par and he did what Molinari does: he drained the putt to stay at 13-under and lead by two strokes.
Molinari, for the second straight hole, looked human as his tee shot at the par-3 sixth hole found the patrons and he took relief with a drop before his second shot, which bounced nicely to leave him with a six-foot putt for par. Woods couldn’t capitalize on Molinari’s predicament and, Molinari seized the moment with a par putt to maintain the three-stroke edge on Woods and Finau. So much for any thought that Molinari might crack there.
Woods found a bit of trouble early, with his tee shot on the second hole flying wide left and down a hill into pine straw while playing partners Molinari, the leader at 13 under par, and Finau were safely in the fairway. As Woods and Finau found they had company at two shots off the lead when Brooks Koepka birdied the second hole, Woods send his second shot skittering onto the fairway and out of trouble. He salvaged par on the par-5 hole, as did Molinari and Finau.
