Tiger will prowl Augusta but roars uncertain for Sunday

AUGUSTA, Georgia: Tiger Woods will be stalking a 15th major title and fifth green jacket at Augusta National Golf Club this week, but whether there will be any roars from the crowd on Sunday's back nine is uncertain.

Players arrived for the year's first major championship with dreams of a championship chase over the final holes, but changes to the famed course since 2002 have stolen some shotmaking drama from the last round.

"I just hope the excitement comes back on the back nine. It's not what it used to be," Woods said last month during his comeback from surgery on his left knee.
