AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods has not yet come to terms with the idea that the green jacket he won 19 months ago will be staying at Augusta National when he leaves the grounds on Sunday.
But it has been in the back of his mind all week, knowing that as his title defense loomed at the Masters, the possibility that the signature item for winning this major championship might stay put in his locker here.
His even-par 72 in the third round -- after playing eight holes to complete the second round on Saturday morning -- knocked him out of contention.
