Ontheair whenever I had free time. If the kids were asleep, I'd still be doing it. And then when they were in school, I'd still be doing it. "So it was a lot of work." And he got his answer. It took nearly two months, followed by two practice rounds at Augusta National last week, before Woods decided to end his self-imposed break and re- turn at the Masters. Woods last played the Masters two years ago. He was No. 1 in the world and the overwhelming favorite. Now he is at No. 111 in the world and Las Vegas book- ies may have been generous in listing him at 40-1. Golf's biggest star al- ways lights up Augusta National, and such was the case when he arrived Mon- day afternoon. Only now, expecta- tions have been replaced by sheer curiosity. Never mind that he hasn't played in nearly two months and hasn't won the Masters in 10 years. When last seen at a tournament, Woods couldn't hit a simple chip shot, and the rest of his game was barely PGA Tour quality. Adam Scott listed a half- dozen players that he could see contending for a green jacket, and he was asked why Woods was not on that short list. "My guess is as good as yours," Scott said. "I re- ally don't know. I have no idea what he's doing. I've listed a bunch of guys that I've watched play a little bit and followed their re- sults. But it's a little bit un- known with Tiger because he hasn't played for a few months. "When you're talking about a world-class player, you just don't know," he said. "I'm sure he has high hopes." That he does. Woods didn't look any- thing like the player who shot 82 at the Phoenix Open; who bladed a bun- ker shot over a green and into the bleachers; who walked off the course at Torrey Pines after 11 holes of the first round. During practice Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, he looked closer to normal. There appeared to be no is- sues with his swing or his chipping. He looked com- fortable when he hugged his two children on the practice green and in a press room with no empty seats. Woods always said he didn't play in a tourna- ment if he didn't expect to win. That standard hasn't changed. There are no moral victories, even for a guy who hasn't won any- thing since the Bridges- tone Invitational in Au- gust 2013. "No, I still feel the same way. I want to win," Woods said. "The whole idea is to prepare and do that. And I feel like my game is fi- nally ready to go and do that again." So many others are com- ing into the Masters in bet- ter form. Rory McIlroy won early in the year at Dubai and began showing progress to- ward the end of the Florida swing. Jordan Spieth won at Innisbrook, was run- ner-up at the Texas Open and lost in a playoff at the Houston Open in his last three starts. He is eager at another shot at Augusta National, where last year he played in the final group at age 20. Bubba Watson is the de- fending champion and go- ing after his third green jacket in four years. Only Jack Nicklaus won so many Masters at that rate. "I think everyone is just curious to see how he comes back," McIlroy said. "I don't think you should ever underestimate it him. He's done things on the golf course that are pretty special. But you know, just as a golf fan in general, I'm sort of interested to see how he does when he comes back. I had a good chat with him on the put- ting green today. He feels good. He's been working hard. He's got the motiva- tion to keep at it. "And just like everyone else," McIlroy added, "I'll be looking for his score and seeing what he's doing." Woods said he would have skipped the Masters if he didn't feel ready. He also said he wasn't target- ing the Masters, but the Ar- nold Palmer Invitational three weeks ago. Therewasnoepiphanyon the practice range at home. The goal was to be better at the end of each day. He worked with his new coach, Chris Como, and never lost hope that his game would not return. That's not to say there weren't a few trying moments. "It would come in flashes," Woods said. "I would get in these modes where it would come for 10 minutes and I would just have it, just dialed in. And then I'd lose it for an hour. And then I'd get it back. And next thing you know, I'd flip to having it for an hour to 10 minutes of los- ing it. And then it got to a point where it was just there." But he's not there yet. He tees off Thursday af- ternoon. For all the ques- tions about his game, the score will be the measure of his game, just like al- ways. Masters FROM PAGE 1 tus of McLellan, Wilson and many players possibly in doubt. "I don't want to talk about anything until we're done," McLellan said when asked about his future. The problems for the Sharks this season started in the aftermath of last year's playoff loss to Los Angeles when San Jose be- came the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven se- ries after winning the first three games. Wilson talked about problems with leader- ship and culture and Joe Thornton was ultimately stripped of his captaincy in a move that smoldered all season. Thornton bristled in the preseason at Wil- son's suggestion that the Sharks were a "tomorrow" team and then lashed out at Wilson late in the sea- son in a public feud, telling his GM to "keep his mouth shut" and "stop lying." "We had a good team," McLellan said. "We didn't succeed in the playoffs. We failed, we had a collapse, call it whatever you want. We should be better than we were this year." But instead of bolster- ing a roster that finished with 111 points last sea- son and took the eventual Stanley Cup champions to the brink, the Sharks dealt away defensemen Dan Boyle and Brad Stuart. The biggest addition they made was fourth-line en- forcer John Scott. While players like Chris TierneyandMelkerKarlsson took advantage of opportu- nities they were given as the team tried to get younger, that was not enough to lift theteambacktotheplayoffs. "As hockey players, you want to give yourself an opportunity to play for the Stanley Cup. We're not go- ing to have that chance this year," center Logan Cou- ture said. "Especially with the way last year ended, it's very, very disappointing." With power forward Brent Burns moving back to defense to replace the void left by Boyle's depar- ture, San Jose was pre- dictably done in by a lack of scoring depth up front. Despite three players with at least 60 points and five with 50 or more, the Sharks rank 14th in scoring. The Sharks struggled defensively, allowing their most goals per game since the 2005-06 season. San Jose allowed opponents to score on 29.1 percent of power-play chances the past 29 games. With those kinds of problems and a grueling schedule that included 16 of the first 21 games and 10 of the final 13 on the road, the Sharks were never able to find a groove. The problems were es- pecially stark at home, where San Jose had tra- ditionally been one of the NHL's toughest teams. The Sharks lost 22 home games this season, their most since the 1996-97 season. "We take so much pride in winning at home here and having such great fans," forward Tommy Wingels said. "When you play like we did at home this year, first and foremost it's tough to look at your- self in the mirror as indi- viduals and as a team." Sharks FROM PAGE 1 Quincy Pondexter, who had 20 points, began the spurt with his fourth 3 on four attempts to tie it. With 1:21 left, Davis used a pump fake on the perimeter to get past one defender and then hit a floater as he was fouled by Andrew Bogut. Cunningham added a free throw to make it 100-95 with 1:12 left, but Golden State tied it at 100 soon after on Curry's 3. Tyreke Evans, who scored 12, hit a late free throw after hustling to pre- vent what could have been a costly turnover in the fi- nal half-minute, and Davis added two more foul shots for the final marking. Draymond Green had 24 points and Bogut blocked nine shots for NBA-lead- ing Golden State, which has tied its season-high losing streak at a mere two games. Ryan Anderson scored 12 points for New Orleans, while Eric Gordon added 11. Davis and Omer Asik each grabbed 10 rebounds. Trailing by 12 at half- time, New Orleans stormed back into the game with a 10-0 run to open the third quarter, with Davis hitting two jumpers while Asik scored six on two putbacks and two free throws. Asik's aggressiveness lured Bogut into three quick fouls. He went to the bench with four fouls with 9 min- utes left in the quarter, re- moving the defensive pres- ence of a player who'd al- ready blocked eight shots. Davis wound up with 13 points in the third quar- ter, when New Orleans out- scored the Warriors by 13 to carry a 79-78 lead into fourth. The Pelicans trailed 41- 38 on Davis' free throw late in the second quarter, then Golden State closed the half on a 14-3 run that included four straight 3s — the first by Green and then three by Curry — to make it 55-43 at halftime. Tip-Ins Warriors: Bogut had seven blocks and scored six points in the first half, when the Warriors were plus-17 with him on the floor. ... Golden State closed out its regular season road slate at 28-13. ... Golden State has lost two straight four times this season, the last time coming on Jan. 27 (vs. Chi- cago) and 30 (at Utah). Pelicans: New Orleans came in having lost its pre- vious 10 to the Warriors, with its last victory in the series coming on April 24, 2012.
