Reputations at stake
Kenny Perry, left, is a man on a mission who is running out of time. That the 48-year-old desperately wants to win the 73rd Masters Tournament can be seen in his determined look, self-confidence and, most of all, by how he's been playing.

Woods finds fight difficult

ANGEL CABRERA'S SECOND SHOT ON NO. 18: Cabrera's tee shot could have ended up much worse. Instead, it kicked down into the second cut on the right side of the fairway.
