AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods found his wide-right tee ball on the 11th, slapped his leg in disgust and let out an exaggerated sigh. Things looked bleak on the Augusta National hole known as White Dogwood, until suddenly they didn't. Woods spotted a window through the forest at the Masters, because that is what geniuses do.
They see light where lesser players see darkness. And so, with his ball in the straw and his swing restricted by an annoying tree limb Thursday, Woods and caddie Joe LaCava repeatedly begged marshals to move patrons a safe distance away from Tiger's flight plan.
