If it is possible, the spotlight on Tiger Woods will be even brighter than usual during the third round of the Masters at Augusta National on Saturday.
Woods avoided disqualification but was hit with a controversial two-stroke penalty for playing from an incorrect spot after his drop on the 15th hole during the second round on Friday. Woods' travails on the par-5 15th hole began when his approach shot hit the flag on the fly and ended up in the water.
Amidst calls for him to withdraw from the tournament, Woods tweeted his thoughts on the statement of the Augusta National Rules Committee, noting that he does "accept the penalty and respect the Committees’ decision."
With the penalty dropping him to 1-under through two rounds, Woods begins play on Saturday five strokes behind leader Justin Day. Woods carded a 70 in the opening round and ended up with a 73 in the second. He will begin the third round tied for 24th place.
