SURELY SAYS something significant about Tiger Woods that in a week in which he 1)
Was low amateur in his first Masters,2) made his first cut in seven tries in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event, 3) drew history-hungry throngs that ran the gamut from Lee Elder to shoal Creek , founder hall Thompson, 4) got rave reviews from every top pro who saw him play,5) hit some talent shots destined to become part of the tournament’s lore and 6) kept his conduct above reproach under a media microscope that covered every move of the first black amateur ever to play in the racially complicated atmosphere of the Masters, the 19-year-old Stanford freshman was still disappointed when it became clear on Saturday that he could not win the tournament.
