Augusta - Trump, Obama tweet congratulations to Tiger

Schauffele, playing two groups ahead of Woods, briefly topped the leaderboard at 12-under through 14 holes.

That's where he finished after a final-round 68 - tied with former US Open winner Dustin Johnson and three-time major winner Brooks Koepka for second place, one shot behind Woods.

It wasn't bad for a player who started the day five shots behind 54-hole leader Francesco Molinari.

"I did have my 30 seconds in the sun with the lead and it was a really cool feeling," said Schauffele, the 2017 PGA Tour's rookie of the year.

"And like I said, it just proves to my team and I that we can contend and that we can win on this property."
