The Masters Tournament April 8-14, 2002
Shooting 71 for a 276 total, Tiger Woods won this year's Masters in April,
getting his third Green Jacket at Augusta National Golf Club.
After Woods birdied two of the first three holes, the excitement was over,
and by Friday afternoon everyone was playing to see who would finish second
and so on down the ladder. The weather made things a bit difficult as well.
It rained heavily on both Friday and Saturday. The mud was knee high and
very smelly. Seems as though the course workers mistakenly dumped soil
mixed with lawn chemicals instead of just sand/sod. The more this gooey
combo heated up on Sunday, the stinkier the course got. I'm sure a lot of
shoes were thrown out that day!
Anyhow, just because Tiger aced the Masters doesn't means he's got the
Majors under his belt just yet. In June he'll be facing last year's U. S.
Open champion Retief Goosen on the same course Goosen beat him on a year
ago.
