Immelman a surprise leader at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Anyone who thought this Masters might be the start of something grand must have struggled to stay awake yesterday while watching another performance from Tiger Woods that hardly matched the hype.

And even after he scrambled from the opposite fairway for one last par, expectations shifted.

The Grand Slam that Woods said was “easily within reason” will have to start with the second-best comeback at Augusta National.

The 36-hole leader was Trevor Immelman, who only four months ago was in a hospital in his native South Africa to begin a speedy recovery from a benign tumor that doctors removed from his diaphragm. He put together his best start of the year, adding another 4-under-par 68 to build a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker.
