AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods had emerged from a door near the Augusta National clubhouse, had turned left toward a tangle of reporters when his close aide, Rob McNamara, called out his name.
"Watch out for those security guards," McNamara said.
The aide laughed. Woods laughed. Tiger would try to downplay the surreal scene on the 14th hole of the second round of the Masters, where an overheated Georgia Bureau of Investigations special agent nearly took out the most special golfer on the planet. But Tiger's dramatic yearlong-and-change comeback could've crashed and burned right on the spot.
