AUGUSTA, Ga. — It’s been a tough go for 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir over much of the past decade. He’s battled injuries and a decline in his play, making just two of 32 cuts on the PGA Tour over the past four years as well as a stretch of just two made cuts out of 27 in 2011 and 2012.

It was quite a fall for the ex-BYU golfer, who once ranked in the top 10 in the world.
