Masters Annual

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN. MONDAY WEDNESDAY: World's Greatest Players, Including Golf's Big Four, Prepare for Masters Test Ernie Els hopes to join former champions Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, and Phil Mickelson in elite status. ROUND ONE: DiMarco Comfortable with Early Masters Lead For the second time in his career at the Masters, Chris DiMarco enjoyed a lead over a host of other players, including past winner Vijay Singh. ROUND TWO: Nicklaus Bids Farewell; DiMarco Stretches Lead Former University of Florida golfer Chris DiMarco opened up a four shot lead through the first two rounds on a day Jack Nicklaus announced his likely retirement from competitive golf at the Masters. ROUND THREE: Seven Consecutive Birdies Push Woods into the Lead Three time champion Tiger Woods made nine third round birdies, including a record tying seven in a row, to grab a three stoke lead over a suddenly struggling Chris DiMarco. ROUND FOUR: Tiger's Fourth Green Jacket Still Fits Him Comfortably A 15 foot birdie putt on the first extra hole helps Woods tie Arnold Palmer for the second most Masters titles in Tournament history. Only Jack Nicklaus, with six, remains ahead of him. THE CHAMPION: Four! Tiger Woods won his fourth Masters in a rather unconventional way by retooling a swing that won him eight major titles beforehand. RESULTS & STATISTICS.
