Lately he has had hiccups with his driving accuracy and had to switch drivers before the Masters as the United States Golf Association in routine test, deemed his driver nonconforming as it relates to the issue of “springlike effect.”

Nonetheless, he scrambled adroitly in the tradition of Arnold Palmer in his prime, to save par and make enough birdies to finish the final round with a one under 71 and a fourround total of 276—12 under for the tournament. He found the way to win, perhaps, the most rewarding circumstance in sports. Champions become champions by finding a way to
