Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive because it omits important information that would help the reader understand Woods' performance and prospects at the Masters. For example, it does not mention his recent injury history or surgery, which could affect his ability to play well. It also does not compare his score to the average score of other golfers in similar situations, or to his previous records at Augusta National. The article focuses on Woods' disappointment and mistakes, but downplays the challenges he faces and the achievements of other players.
The article is deceptive because it does not acknowledge any sources of information or evidence that would support or contradict its claims. For example, it does not cite any statistics, records, or expert opinions that could help the reader evaluate Woods' performance and prospects.
The article is deceptive because it uses a biased tone and language that implies Woods has no chance of winning or doing well. For example, it says he had a 'disappointing ending' and was 'tied for 36th', which suggest he failed to meet expectations or perform adequately.
The article is deceptive because it quotes only one other golfer who played in the same round as Woods, and uses a statement that could be interpreted differently. For example, Højgaard says 'the wind was swirling', which could mean there were strong gusts or unpredictable changes in direction. This contrasts with Woods' comment that he didn't feel the conditions changed much between rounds.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that Tiger Woods' performance on the 11th fairway was a significant moment for golf fans when in reality it was just one of many moments during the tournament. Secondly, the article quotes people saying things like 'Well, he's got a pretty good trot,' and 'Doesn't look too painful,' which are not accurate or appropriate comments to make about Tiger Woods given his history with injuries. Thirdly, the article suggests that there is hope for Tiger Woods winning another major championship when in reality it is unlikely given his age and physical limitations.
