Tiger Woods didn't win the Masters. He was the heavy favorite heading into the first major of the year and held a share of the lead for a while on Friday. Even though he came up short in the end, his strong finish bodes well for his chances in the year's remaining majors.

Four strokes, which was the deficit between Woods and playoff participants Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera, would normally be a lot in a tournament with a winning score of nine-under par. But for Woods it amounted to one hole.

His approach shot on No. 15 during the second round could have easily nestled right next to the hole for an easy birdie. Instead, it struck the flagstick and rolled into the water. After plenty of hoopla before the third round, a two-stroke penalty was assessed on the ensuing drop.



Woods' potential birdie morphed into a triple bogey and he was never able to fully recover. Yet, despite the incredible setback on one hole, he was still in the mix throughout the weekend and was one incredible round—the type he's still capable of when everything is clicking—from winning.

When you put the entire tournament in perspective, it's still easy to see why Woods entered as such a heavy favorite and why there's still a very good chance he will claim at least one major in 2013.



Few times over the course of four rounds did it feel like he was in the zone. It rarely felt like he was playing at the level that allowed him to win three of four stroke-play events on the PGA Tour prior to teeing it up at the Masters.

His approach shots weren't landing with the same type of pinpoint accuracy he's been enjoying lately. The one that did came back to haunt ...
