What Happened at the 2002 Masters Tournament
Tiger Woods was tied for seventh after the first round, tied for fourth after the second, and tied for the lead following the third round of the 2002 Masters. In a tough final round in which only one player broke 70, Woods' 1-under 71 was more than enough to secure his third Green Jacket as Masters champion.Woods made his move in the third round, which he started four strokes behind second-round leader Vijay Singh. Singh played even-par golf in the third round, which gave Retief Goosen (69) and Woods, who surged with a 66, a chance to get out front.
Goosen and Woods were the final pairing on Sunday, starting the day tied at 11-under. But while Goosen didn't blow up — he carded a 2-over 74 in very tough scoring conditions — he didn't pressure Woods either. Singh was not a factor in the final round.
Tiger's 71 and 12-under total were good for the 3-stroke victory. It was Woods' second straight Masters victory and his seventh overall major championship win to this point. (It was his 31st overall PGA Tour vicvtory.)
Woods became just the third golfer to win back-to-back Masters titles, joining Jack Nicklaus (1965-66) and Nick Faldo (1989-90). Woods was the seventh golfer to win The Masters at least three times.
Sam Snead hit the ceremonial opening tee shot alone this year, the final time he served as an honorary starter. The tournament went without an honorary starter until Arnold Palmer resumed the practice in 2007.
