A strange week at Augusta National saved the biggest surprise for the very end -- Johnson as the Masters champion, and beating Woods to get there. Strange to also see these pros shooting "Plus" scores and hitting into the woods or 4 putting on the greens. I know the course was tougher this year than in the past but still we are so use to seeing these guys "going low."
Well, the back nine was good to watch after a good Easter dinner....Johnson pulled away from Woods and the rest of the pack with three birdies in a pivotal four-hole stretch, closing with a 3-under 69 for a two-shot victory over Woods, Retief Goosen and Rory Sabbatini. It was only the second victory of his career.
Woods was within two shots after his eagle on the 13th hole, but all he could muster were pars the rest of the way. His last chance ended when his approach to the 18th settled 25 feet to the right of the pin. And for the first time ever in a major, Woods walked the final hole with no trophy waiting for him at the end and no one behind him on the course.
