Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Me te mea ehara i te mea nui te rongo e hoki mai ana a Tiger Woods ki te Masters a te wiki e whai ake nei mo te poaka o Amerika, ko te kitenga o te Phil Mickelson i te Shell Houston Open i whakawhiwhia ki te kara. I whai ake i tana whakatuwheratanga 66 te maui maui ki te 67 ki te noho kotahi te pupuhi i muri i te kaiarahi Andrew Putnam e haere ana ki te rauna tuatoru. I te wā i whakaohoohohia ai e Woods te ao Twitter ki tana whakapuakitanga, i whakaohoohohia e tana hoa whakataetae nui te tokomaha o ngā kaiwhaiwhai i runga i te whenua ki tētahi whakaaturanga e mahara ana ki ana rā nui katoa.
