AUGUSTA – After Tiger Woods claimed a record 24th consecutive made cut at Augusta National on April 12 the five-time US Masters champion engaged in dreamy talk of a sixth Green Jacket.

Reality hit home on April 13, however, in the form of a nightmare third round as the 48-year-old’s injury-battered body appeared to quit on him as he carded a 10-over 82, his worst ever score at Augusta National.
