Earl Woods, the master of hyperbole, tones down his act with each Masters Tiger Woods wins. Take Sunday, for example, when the father said the son simply had that special something, something that no other player in the world can seem to find.

Woods' win boosts ratings
CBS's telecast of his second straight title at Augusta National drew a 9.9 overnight rating from 1:30-6:45 p.m. Sunday. That's at least 40 percent higher than the final-round rating for the three prior majors - when Woods finished back in the pack
