Order was restored to a certain extent at Augusta National Golf Club when Tiger Woods collected his fourth green jacket.

The champions locker room, however, is another story.

Phil Mickleson, the 2004 Mas-ters Tournament winner, and Vijay Singh, the 2000 champ, had a well-publicized "confrontation" in the locker room during Friday's rain delay. The subject was Mickelson's distaste for the way Singh lodged a complaint about spike marks allegedly left by Mickelson on the course in front of Singh's group.

The locker-room dust-up, witnessed by numerous former champs in the private sanctum, created quite a stir on a day when little golf was played. Second-hand accounts ranged from "no big deal" to Singh issuing a challenge for Mickelson to step outside.

There is no arguing that little respect was exchanged between the then No. 1 and 4 players in the world ranking.

When fate paired the two for the final round, whispers followed them around the course.

Neither played particularly well - Singh shot 72 to Mickelson's 74 - and never made a run at the leaders.

BACK FOR MOORE: Ryan Moore, coming off the best amateur season since Bobby Jones won the Grand Slam in 1930, added to his hype by taking low amateur honors and finishing 1-under-par in the Masters.

Moore, from UNLV, won the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Public Links, NCAA Championship and Western Amateur in 2004. His confidence sent him to the Masters believing he could actually win the tournament.

He remained on the leaderboard through the tournament - with only one round over par - finishing tied with major winners Tom Lehman and Justin Leonard for 13th.

That makes him the second straight amateur (Casey Wittenberg tied for 13th in 2004) to gain admission to the next year's Masters via a top-16 finish.

"This was an amazing week," Moore said.

QUOTABLES: "We should be playing in South Africa. We are having a drought there." - Retief Goosen, the South African ranked No. 5 in the world, on the weather that has plagued nine of 15 events on the PGA Tour this season.

"I went out and shot 68 around here on Sunday, which is a very good round. And 12-under is usually good enough to win. I was just playing against Tiger Woods." - Chris DiMarco on losing the Masters in a playoff despite beating the rest of the field by at least seven strokes.

"This is not a celebrity walk-around. This is a golf tournament. It's a major golf championship, and if you're going to play in this championship, you should be competitive and you should be able compete with who is out there. I think it's fine to go ahead and, you know, say goodbye and so forth and so on, but I think you say goodbye when you think you can still play a little bit. You know, I think I can play a little bit, but I can't play well enough to be playing." - Jack Nicklaus.
