Tiger matches the King's mark
Tiger Woods added a fourth green jacket to his Masters Tournament collection Sunday, but this one didn't come easy. Chris DiMarco made sure of that.

Woods gets shot at Slam
One down, three to go for Tiger Woods. A sweep of all four majors in a calendar year has never been achieved since the Masters Tournament started in 1934, and Woods is the only golfer who can pull it off this year.
DiMarco feels bite of Tiger's victory
Chris DiMarco tapped in his par putt on the first playoff hole Sunday and walked over by the bunker at No. 18. He squatted, holding his glove in his left hand, and waited to see if Tiger Woods would sink his 15-foot birdie putt for his fourth green jacket.
Amateur outshines many pros
Ryan Moore stopped at the door leading into the clubhouse at Augusta National Golf Club, where he planned to shower upstairs in the amateurs' loft called the Crow's Nest.
