Rookie Laird a passenger aboard Woods-driven steam train . . .

Not in his wildest dreams could Martin Laird have dreamed of playing on the final day of his first Masters in the company of Tiger Woods.

Woods drove the Augusta National fans into an absolute frenzy piling on an eagle and five birdies to ignite hopes of a fifth Masters green jacket.

For all his work in carding a final round 67, Woods finished four strokes adrift of South African Charl Schwartzel, who celebrated the 50th anniversary of compatriot Gary Player’s first Masters victory by birdieing his closing four holes in a score of 66.
