Tiger Woods posted his worst score ever in his 26th Masters, a 10-over 82 in the third round of the tournament on Saturday.
After setting the Masters record with his 24th consecutive made cut on Friday, Woods posted his worst score ever in his 26th tournament at Augusta National Golf Club with a 10-over 82 in the third round. It was his highest round in any major championship during his career.
Woods made a bogey on the par-3 fourth after he blasted a 38½-foot birdie try past the hole, then missed a 6-footer for par. But then he made the first birdie of the day on the par-4 fifth, sinking a 19-foot putt to move back to even par in his round.Woods' round turned into a disaster from there. He made a bogey on the par-3 sixth and a double-bogey on the par-4 seventh. On No. 7, Woods hit his tee shot into pine straw, punched out from the trees and pulled his approach shot left.
The round would only get worse. On the par-5 eighth, he pulled his tee shot into the trees on the left. He punched out and then hit his approach shot 40 yards short of the green. His chip shot was short, and he missed a 4-footer for bogey. "Sure, he didn't hit it how he wanted to, but also like putts that he had, like the greens are so fast out there," said England's, who played with Woods on Saturday."You guys, you don't realize even a 2½-foot putt is just brutal. They've got so much turn. You start it a centimeter outside of your start line and it's going to miss."
Woods had consecutive pars to start the second nine. After a bogey on No. 12, he made a birdie on the par-5 13th with an 8-footer. Then he had four straight bogeys on Nos. 14 to 17.
