Tiger Woods withdraws from Masters: He looked like he was labouring pretty hard'

Five-time winner was seen to be visibly limping and in pain during Saturday's rain-soaked third round at Augusta 

WD: Tiger Woods 

MASTERS Sunday dawned with the least surprising news of the day – Tiger Woods withdrew before trying to complete 30 holes on the last day on a leg that barely got him through Saturday.

“I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to re-aggravating my plantar fasciitis,” Woods wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to the fans and to @TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!” Woods look old, frail and in considerable pain trying to play in the third round in the cold and heavy rain after sneaking into the weekend with a backdoor cut on the number – his 23rd consecutive time dating back to 1997 that he qualified for the weekend, tying the record shared by Fred Couples and Gary Player.
