The round was completed Friday morning. Chris DiMarco shot a five-under 67 to take the first round lead. Vijay Singh and Luke Donald were at 68, one stroke behind in second. Tiger Woods struggled through much of his round ending at two over par. After the round, Woods was questioned by rules officials for an illegal putting stance on the 14th before getting the all-clear. In his final appearance, Billy Casper shot the worst round in Masters history on Thursday, a triple-digit 106 (+34), but the round was unofficial because he withdrew.http://golf.about.com/od/majorchampionships/l/bl2005masters.htm About.com 2005 Masters January 7, 2013 April 24, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130424174528/http://golf.about.com/od/majorchampionships/l/bl2005masters.htm dead Three-time champion Nick Faldo withdrew while playing the ninth hole due to back spasms.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=B_VOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=pv8DAAAAIBAJ&pg=1438%2C6468364 Lakeland Ledger Armour Nancy Associated Press Back spasms force Faldo out April 8, 2005 C3 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 USA Chris DiMarco67−5 T2 ENG Luke Donald68−4 FIJ Vijay SinghT4 AUS Stuart Appleby69−3 AUS Mark HensbyT6 USA Phil Mickelson70−2 USA Ryan PalmerT8 DEN Thomas Bjørn71−1 ZAF Retief Goosen FRA Thomas Levet USA Ryan Moore (a) USA Chris Riley AUS Adam Scott Second round Friday, April 8, 2005Saturday, April 9, 2005 Rain suspended play for much of the day and the second round spilled into Saturday.

Chris DiMarco struggled in with a 41 (+5) back nine for a third round 74 (+2), losing seven shots to Woods in the final nine holes. DiMarco's troubles began when his second shot at the 10th went into a bush and was unplayable. After a drop, he chipped onto the green and two-putted for the double bogey, which ended a streak of 44 holes at par or better.

DiMarco narrowed the three shot lead to one by the 11th with a second birdie in three holes after Woods had dropped a shot at the 10th. The lead stretched back to two when DiMarco bogeyed the 12th at the heart of Amen Corner, but a stunning approach on 14 set up a birdie for DiMarco and cut the gap back to one. Both players birdied 15 and set up a dramatic and memorable 16th hole. With DiMarco sitting comfortably in the center of the green Woods pulled his tee shot just off the green; with about 50 ft 0 between him and the hole, and considering the difficulty of the lie, co-commentator Lanny Wadkins remarked that "this is one of the toughest pitches on the entire place here", and that "there's a good chance he doesn't get this inside DiMarco's ball", who had left himself a good 20 ft 0 away. Aiming at least 20 ft 0 to the left of the pin and intending to use the sloping green to run the ball towards the hole, Woods proceeded to play what was voted in 2019 as the greatest shot in Masters history.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/golf/47927304 "Masters 2019: Tiger Woods' incredible chip in 2005 voted greatest Masters shot" BBC Sport The ball crept towards the hole and appeared to stop on the lip of the hole before toppling in for a dramatic birdie,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-htXOZy9Eo#t=228m30s 2005 Masters Tournament Final Round Broadcast YouTube 10 April 2020 prompting lead commentator Verne Lundquist to give the now iconic piece of commentary: "Well... here it comes... Oh, my goodness... OH, WOW! In your life have you seen anything like that!?". DiMarco missed his birdie putt and the lead grew back to two with just two to play. However, Woods pushed his drive on 17 leading to a bogey, cutting the lead to one as they went to the 72nd hole. Woods' approach on 18 ended up in the greenside bunker while DiMarco ended up just short of the green. DiMarco's chip for birdie hit the pin and rebounded ten feet away when it could easily have jammed in the hole. Woods hit his chip to 14 ft 0, but missed his par putt to win. DiMarco calmly sank a ten-foot (3 m) putt to force a playoff. Retief Goosen had the round of the day, firing a five under 67 which was the only round better than DiMarco's 68.

DiMarco hit his approach to the very front section of the green and the ball backed off the green a bit, ending up in almost the exact spot he was at the end of regulation. Woods knocked his approach to 15 ft past the flag. DiMarco then chipped up to around a foot and tapped in for par. After taking a long time to study the putt, Woods buried his birdie putt to win his fourth green jacket and ninth major title. It was the second consecutive major that DiMarco lost in a playoff following his loss in the PGA Championship in 2004 to Vijay Singh.

IN YOUR LIFE, have you seen anything like that?!" - CBS's Verne Lundquist's famous call of Tiger Woods' chip-in on the 16th hole. "Chris is a tough competitor and a fighter. He's never going to back off and he proved that again." - Tiger Woods on the gutsy final round of runner-up Chris DiMarco. ""I was just trying to throw the ball up there on the hill and let it feed down there and hopefully have a makeable putt. All of a sudden, it looked really good, and it looked like how could it not go in, and how did it not go in, and all of a sudden it went in." - Tiger Woods on his remarkable chip on 16. "I went out and shot 68 around here on Sunday, which is a very good round, and 12-under is usually good enough to win. It was just that I was playing against Tiger Woods." - Chris DiMarco on his runner-up finish. "I would let it hurt if I gave it away but I didn't. I really didn't." - Chris DiMarco "You know I played him as hard as I could down the stretch, birdieing a bunch of holes coming down the back nine and putting it on him really. And since I put that behind me and went out and put a good number on the back nine, I feel very good." - Chris DiMarco on his final round. "That was a hard-fought week with the rain delays, I didn't get off to the greatest of starts." - Tiger Woods on the long week of golf.
