Jordan lauds Woods

One legend had high praise for another. In a published interview, Michael Jordan said that Tiger Woods’ one-stroke victory in the Masters was ‘‘the greatest comeback I’ve ever seen.’’

‘‘I never thought he’d get back physically,” Jordan said. “He didn’t think he’d get back physically. But he did it. No one expected him to be back the way he is. He’s probably the only person who believed he could get back.”

It was Woods’ 15th major win but first since 2008.

♦ Shane Lowry shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-shot lead in the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Top-ranked Dustin Johnson, coming off a second-place tie at the Masters last week, rallied with two birdies in his final seven holes for a 68.
