Woods' drama-filled win made for memorable Masters weekend this season

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods’ drama-filled win Sunday at Augusta National made for a memorable Masters.

The severe weather that threatened to create havoc on the course never materialized, but the chaos came anyway. The leaderboard was a volatile place for about an hour, with players rising and falling every few minutes.

Francesco Molinari was the leader at one point before hitting into the water at No. 12. Then it was Xander Schauffele and even Patrick Cantlay for a brief moment. Dustin Johnson was in the hunt for a while. So was Brooks Koepka. Jason Day came out of nowhere to get back into contention.

The dizzying changes were nearly impossible to follow — even for players competing on the course. Roars from the crowd were coming from every corner of August National. The lead was there for the taking.
