Wood suffers Masters leg injury

Woods sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and also strained his left achilles while playing a difficult stroke on the 17th during his third round at Augusta.

Woods was able to complete the first major championship of the season, eventually finishing in a tie for fourth place, four strokes behind the winner, Charl Schwartzel. But the pain he felt afterwards convinced him to seek a medical evaluation. A statement on his personal website said: "Doctors have advised rest and cold-water therapy, and soft tissue treatment will also occur later this week. There is no definitive time frame for healing, but Woods hopes to be back in a few weeks."
