AUSTIN, Texas - For the better part of three days at Austin Country Club, Tiger Woods emitted a vibe of frustration. Quirky course. Indifferent putting. Questionable decisions. And a match play performance that suggested he'd be getting an earlier start on Masters preparation.
Then Woods holed an 83-yard wedge shot Friday afternoon that changed everything.
The eagle at the 13th hole propelled Woods to a 4 and 2 victory over Patrick Cantlay and - coupled with Brandt Snedeker's 6 and 4 loss to Aaron Wise - a victory in his group at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship.
