AUGUSTA, Ga. - Francesco Molinari blamed a bad swing execution along with a poor decision for the two double bogeys that cost him a chance of winning the Masters on Sunday.
The Italian putted brilliantly to keep his rivals at bay for 11 holes at Augusta National, and had a two-stroke lead over Woods when he walked to the 12th tee, one arm in the Green Jacket. A wayward drive forced him to lay up at the par-five, and he got a bit greedy with his wedge third shot from 90 yards, aiming for the pin instead of taking his medicine and steering well clear of tree trouble to the heart of the green.The stoic Molinari hardly betrayed a thought, but inside he must have been numb.
