Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Tiger Woods won his fifth Masters on Sunday, claiming his first major since 2008 and 15th overall with a clean round of two-under golf. The 43-year-old limited mistakes on the back nine while his rivals faltered, before a birdie on the 15th hole put him in the lead. He only needed a bogey on the 18th to win: His family was on hand to celebrate: Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson tied for second place, one shot behind Woods. Here is a hole-by-hole breakdown of Woods' final round: 1. (Par 4): 4 2. (Par 5): 5 3. (Par 4): 3 4. (Par 3): 4 5. (Par 4): 5 6. (Par 3): 3 Video Play Button Videos you might like 7. (Par 4): 3 8.

(Par 4): 5 The four-time Masters winner made par on his first two efforts of the day, including an impressive save on the second, per Tiger Tracker: He cut into the lead on the third, making birdie with a solid putt after some great approach play: But a bogey on the fourth saw the 43-year-old drop back to 11 under, two shots behind the consistent Francesco Molinari. He then bogeyd the fifth as well, making it four straight days with a bogey on the tricky par four. Woods missed a potential birdie putt on the sixth and watched as Molinari nailed his from a tough position to save par. But a superb approach on the par-four seven resulted in an easy birdie, handing him some much-needed momentum in his pursuit of the Italian, who made bogey. The approach shot was a thing of beauty: Molinari then put the pressure on Woods by sinking a birdie putt on the eighth, but his illustrious opponent didn't flinch, making his second birdie in a row. Woods came agonisingly close to sinking a birdie putt on the ninth from a long way out, settling for par to close out the front nine and stay within one shot of Molinari. He wasn't far off from tying it up: He started the back nine with a bogey, the result of another poor drive. With Molinari saving par, the gap was back up to two shots. Woods' drive struggles continued on the 11th, but he saved par with yet another excellent approach, this time avoiding some trees with the swerve: Molinari had barely made a mistake all day long, but he finally did so on the 12th, and it was a big one. Both he and Koepka found the water, per CBS' Kyle Boone: Woods' putt for birdie fell well short of the pin, but he still made par, while Molinari had to settle for a double bogey. All of a sudden, things were tied at the top. From the background, Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay pushed their way to the top of the board, but on the 13th, Woods and Molinari both made birdie, tying the former at 12 under. Both then made par on the 14th, with Woods missing a good look for birdie. Surges from Johnson and Koepka had them tied at the top as well, in what has been one of the best rounds of golf seen in any major in years. The 15th is where Woods made his move. Molinari, who had found water once already earlier in the day, clipped a tree and landed in the drink again. ESPN's Peter Burns noted he wasn't finishing well: Woods calmly made his birdie putt, moving into the solo lead. He added to his advantage with a birdie on the 16th, producing perhaps his best approach yet and nearly holing out: A great approach on the 17th gave him another birdie chance, but Woods couldn't convert. He did make par easily, however, and started the final hole with a two-shot lead. Koepka missed a great chance at birdie, meaning Woods only needed to make par or bogey to win. He went close with his first putt, and tapped home for bogey to close out the show.<doc-sep>AUGUSTA, Ga. -- There were moments Saturday afternoon in the third round of the Masters when it appeared Tiger Woods might fade into the background, writing too many pars on his scorecard on a day when Augusta National kept yielding birdies and eagles and an unprecedented collection of 64s. Suddenly, as if it were 2005 all over again, Woods flipped a switch and there were the red numbers, the roars echoing off the tall pines. When it was over, it all added up to 5-under 67, good for a three-day total of 11 under. Here's how it all happened. He has a history in the third round ... Tiger has a history of making moves in the third round. Last year, he was 9 under in the third round of the four majors. That was the third-best total of any player. The two players he trailed? Adam Scott, who starts Saturday as one of the co-leaders, and Jon Rahm, who sits one behind Tiger. No. 1: Par 4, 445 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: Even Total for the tournament: 6 under Tiger doesn't have a great history at No. 1, so it makes sense that he took a conservative approach. Just happy to walk away with a par. Now, though, it's time to get more aggressive. Off to the par 5 second hole. He hasn't taken advantage of the par 5s enough over the first two days. No. 2 : Par 5, 575 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: Even Total for the tournament: 6 under Tiger still struggling to take advantage of the par 5s. A bad drive costs him this time and he has to settle for another par. He's played nine par 5s this week and has just three birdies. No. 3: Par 4, 350 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: Even Total for the tournament: 6 under Tiger needed to keep his driver down the left side to attack the right pin on No. 3. Instead, driver goes right, leaving a tough pitch. Can't convert the up-and-down from there and has to walk off with a third consecutive par. Lots of birdies around him. None so far for him. No. 4: Par 3, 240 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: Even Total for the tournament: 6 under Tiger burns the edge for birdie on the fourth hole. Even through four, which is fine ... except Tony Finau's on fire and has pushed the lead to 9 under. So Tiger, who started the day 1 back, is now 3 behind. No. 5: Par 4, 495 Yards Score: Bogey Total for the day: 1 over Total for the tournament: 5 under It's clear Tiger has a way of playing the lengthened fifth hole at Augusta. Hit in the left bunker off the tee, walk off the green with a bogey. That's exactly how it's gone three days in a row. No. 6: Par 3, 180 Yards Score: Birdie Total for the day: Even Total for the tournament: 6 under First sign of life from Tiger, again coming at the par-3 6th. He makes birdie there for the second consecutive day to erase the obligatory bogey at No. 5. Little fist pump. He's played here enough to be aware of the low numbers happening around him. No. 7: Par 4, 450 Yards Score: Birdie Total for the day: 1 under Total for the tournament: 7 under Clearly Tiger hears the roars around him and knows it's go-time. After a birdie at No. 6, he hits his approach on No. 7 to a foot. With so many others torching Augusta National on Saturday -- namely Tony Finau and Webb Simpson -- he'll need to keep making birdies. No. 8: Par 5, 570 Yards Score: Birdie Total for the day: 2 under Total for the tournament: 8 under Good news: Tiger finally made a birdie at the par-5 8th hole. Bad news: It came after he missed an 11-footer for eagle. Still, that's three consecutive birdies for Woods, who now sits in a tie for second place, one back of the leaders. No. 9: Par 4, 460 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 2 under Total for the tournament: 8 under Tiger Woods scrambles on No. 9 to salvage par after a tee shot into the right-side pine trees. He goes out in 2-under 34 and turns to the second nine two shots off the lead. No. 10: Par 4, 495 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 2 under Total for the tournament: 8 under Tiger gave his birdie putt a go at No. 10, but the 23-footer slid by. Settling for par isn't bad at the 10th. Most likely he'd take a 4 at No. 11 and go on about his day. No. 11: Par 4, 505 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 2 under Total for the tournament: 8 under Tiger goes way, way right off the tee at No. 11. And that was actually a good thing, because it gave him a clear view of the green and a clear path to a par. He survived two of the tougher holes with par, though, to be honest, very little is actually tough today at Augusta National. No. 12: Par 3, 155 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 2 under Total for the tournament: 8 under Tiger with another two-putt par, this one at No. 12. The next few holes will define his round. The par-5 13th, the easiest hole on the course, has yielded 31 birdies and two eagles. Up ahead, the par-5 15th is playing second-easiest and has permitted 23 birdies and three eagles. No. 13: Par 5, 510 Yards Score: Birdie Total for the day: 3 under Total for the tournament: 9 under Tiger had to work harder than he probably would have liked for his birdie at No. 13, but he got it -- with a little luck. His tee shot bounced off some pines, and instead of tumbling into the tributary from Rae's Creek, it bounces onto safe land. From there, he navigated home a much-needed birdie. No. 14: Par 4, 440 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 3 under Total for the tournament: 9 under Tiger had a chance to give it a go at No. 14, but his iron shot leaked to the wrong side of the slope and a birdie chance turns into a par. No. 15: Par 5, 530 Yards Score: Birdie Total for the day: 4 under Total for the tournament: 10 under Another hard-work birdie for Tiger Woods at a par 5. He produces a delicate up-and-in from behind the 15th green. No matter how he got it, it's a birdie, his third of the day at the par 5s. That moves him to 10 under and one behind. No. 16: Par 3, 170 Yards Score: Birdie Total for the day: 5 under Total for the tournament: 11 under Tiger Woods is tied for the lead. He knocked one close at No. 16, then walked in the birdie putt. That emphatic step toward the cup to pick up the ball, accompanied by the patrons' roar, was reminiscent of the old days. No. 17: Par 4, 440 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 5 under Total for the tournament: 11 under You cannot go long with the pin all the way back on No. 17. Tiger Woods wasn't messing around with that, leaving his approach well short and happily taking a two-putt par. Behind him, though, Francesco Molinari made his third straight birdie to move into the lead. No. 18: Par 4, 465 Yards Score: Par Total for the day: 5-under 67 Total for the tournament: 11 under<doc-sep>
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Round 2 of the 2019 Masters was a leaderboard rollercoaster. Co-leader Bryson Dechambeau dropped outside the top 15 with a 3-over 75, while Francesco Molinari and Jason Day -- who shot matching 2-under 70s on Thursday -- made moves straight to the top of the leaderboard by again posting the same score: 5-under 67s on Friday. They're joined by a group of big names tied for the lead going into the weekend with Adam Scott, Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen, who are all 7-under. The biggest mover up the leaderboard didn't come from that group, though. Xander Schauffele made the largest leap by following up a 1-over 73 with a 7-under 65. He launched himself from seven strokes back to one behind and tied for sixth place. Dustin Johnson, Justin Harding and Tiger Woods are all knotted with Schauffele in the standings ahead of Saturday at 6 under on the tournament. Woods went 4 under on Friday, missing a couple short birdies but showing great resiliency throughout the day as he drained some long, difficult putts. Let's take a look at the clogged leaderboard and the contenders as we prepare for what figures to be a fascinating Moving Day in Augusta. T1. Francesco Molinari (-7): There's no such thing as a perfect round, but there is such a thing as a clean round, and Molinari played one. He played all 18 holes bogey-free and turned in a 2-under 34 on the second nine to complement a magnificent 3-under 33 on the first nine. T1. Jason Day (-7): Day carded a 5-under 67 aided by a half-dozen birdies and a near-bogey free round. His one and only miscue came on the par-3 12th, but he responded by firing off three birdies over the next four holes to finish a strong day overall. Day threw out his back on Thursday, so there's still some concern over whether he can withstand the pain (an ongoing issue for him), but he looked to be in tip-top shape on Friday. T1. Brooks Koepka (-7): Koepka began the day with a share of the lead, and that's where he ended it, though he cooled after a hot start on Thursday. Koepka shot a 1-under 71 on the day, which could have been much worse after a shaky start in which he went birdie, double-bogey, birdie-bogey. He settled down from there and played the final five holes at even par, and he managed to gather himself for a 2-under 34 on the second nine. T1. Adam Scott (-7): Slow and steady thrust Scott into contention Friday. He began his round with seven consecutive pars before firing off three birdies in his next six holes. He then carded an eagle on the par-5 15th and followed it up with a bogey on 16. He struck the ball really well, didn't make any crippling mistakes and let his putter guide him. That's a formula that has won him a Masters before, and it's one that could win him another this weekend if he continues to play at this level. T1. Louis Oosthuizen (-7): Have a day, Louis. From outside the top 10 to T1, his formula for success was to go low early and often. He began his round with four birdies in his first seven holes and carded matching 33s on his first- and second-nine to get in at 66. T6: Dustin Johnson (-6): D.J. 's resiliency paid off, as he opened the day with a bogey and didn't card another. He got better as the day progressed, too, much like the rest of the field. Best of all: He took advantage of his strength and distance off the tee box by carding birdies on the two par 5s on the second nine. His 3-under 33 on those holes aided him to a 2-under 70 on the day. T6. Tiger Woods (-6): Judging by the buzz about Augusta, Woods was the biggest mover of the day. Not quite -- but pretty close. He carded six birdies, three on the first nine and three on the second, finishing with a 4-under 68. If not for a few missed putts from short distance, he could easily be entering the weekend in sole possession of the lead. T6. Xander Schauffele (-6): Schauffele had a meteoric rise on the leaderboard Friday thanks to a clean round that left him with only one bogey on the scorecard, which came on hole No. 1.
