Masters leader Schlee battles through injuries at Augusta
John Schlee leads the Masters by one stroke as he overcomes tendinitis that sidelined him last summer. Runnerup Joe Inman, who jokes about astigmatism, struggles after a 16-foot birdie at 16 but three-putts 17th for bogey. Schlee, 13-year veteran, says he prepared by practicing every shot at Augusta and believes his Thursday 4-under-par 68 sets the pace.
