AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods, who looked to be in serious pain during a rain-filled day at the Masters on Saturday, withdrew before play resumed at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday morning.

Woods, 47, was limping badly as he played many of the first eight holes of the third round in a downpour on Saturday. Woods was 6-over through his first seven completed holes of the third round. He was 9-over through 43 holes, which was worst among the 54 players who made the 36-hole cut, and 22 strokes behind leader Brooks Koepka.

Woods faced the prospect of finishing the 17th hole and playing 28 more holes on Sunday.
