AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods was the first golfer to arrive at the course on Saturday morning, a half hour before sunrise, and he went alone to a pitch-black driving range.
He smiled and he grimaced and he worked. With eight holes left to play of the delayed second round, he stood right on the cut line.
He hadn't missed a cut in the past 22 Masters, one of the last streaks remaining from his now vanished days of domination. When it was over, he stood in the pouring rain and took a few questions.
He laughed at himself. He didn't seem angry. Someone asked him what happened on his last hole. «I hit it right off the heel,» he said and then walked away.
