Mother Nature and Father Time messed with Tiger Woods on Saturday, the cold and the pain helping wreak a 78 that became his most human score in the three rounds in his Masters comeback from a frightening car accident in February 2021.
It left him at 71-74-78, 7 over par for the tournament, tied for 41st place, and it crawled with unusual sights: four three-putts plus a four-putt on the dreaded par-4 No. 5.Scottie Scheffler's Masters lead emerges from the woods looking okay
“I just could not get a feel for getting comfortable with the ball,” he said. “Posture, feel, my right hand, my release, I just couldn’t find it. Trying different things, trying to find it, trying to get something, taking practice strokes and just trying to feel the swing and the putter head, trying to get anything, and nothing seemed to work. Even as many putts as I had, you’d think I’d have figured it out somewhere along the line, but it just didn’t happen.
Woods’s back, the subject of five surgeries, also didn’t help him. “It’s not as limber and as loose as it normally is, that’s for sure,” he said.
