Tiger Woods made the cut at the Masters and then it all went downhill from there.
Tiger Woods hits from the fairway on the 15th hole during the weather delayed third round of the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on Saturday, April 8, 2023, in Augusta, Ga. – It even sounds odd to say it: Tiger Woods is last among those still playing at the Masters.
The 47-year-old Woods, who is still recovering from a 2021 car accident that nearly cost him his right leg, looked miserable as he limped through a dreadfully long, exhausting day in obvious discomfort, playing seven holes in the morning to make the cut and then seven more in a steady downpour before the tournament was postponed until Sunday.
At 6 over through seven holes for round three, Woods is on pace for the worst 18 holes of his illustrious Masters career — topping the back-to-back 78s he posted in the third and fourth rounds at last year's tournament, where he finished 47th at 13-over 301.at the Masters as a professional was a major accomplishment for Woods. It matched a streak set by two other golf greats in Gary Player and Fred Couples.
Woods' third round started with a bogey on the 10th hole, then progressively got worse. He bogeyed again at No. 14, then had back-to-back double bogeys after finding the water on both No. 15 and 16. It marked the first time he's ever had consecutive double bogeys at the Masters.
