AUGUSTA: Fortunes change fast in golf. No better week to exemplify that than this one at the Augusta National Golf Club at the 86th Masters. The three subplots within the larger plot that usually unfolds on the back nine on Sunday were all unlikely as recently as two months ago.
Tiger Woods. Scottie Scheffler and Hideki Matsuyama. Woods is T-19, Matsuyama is T-2 and Scheffler leads the field by five. On Friday, as the Masters reached midway point in its first normal rendition since 2019 with crowds in full attendance and no Covid overhangs, Woods made the cut. Big deal. He has never missed one in his 22 appearances as a pro.
