Woods, which is expected to be ranked 21st in the world, needed a 62nd playoff round to be part of the playoffs. Although it was possible – he missed three putts of birdies inside 15 feet and made two bogeys after finding bunkers – it was a lot to ask for a miserable day. Only two players improved their 65 with 64. The tied round of Friday, Friday, after the opening of the tournament with 62 points, was the real difference. Only six players shot in the second round.

"To win here, you have to be consistent and on a golf course like this, even parity is not going to do much," Woods said. "It's one of our toughest tests I was not playing this way this year, it was just mild and it was hot early in the week, the ball was flying, guys were hitting at every hole It was not really a challenge, you look at the scores, 20 under par. "

Woods missed a half-foot for the seventh-hole birdie, but when he did birdie on the ninth, he scored 31 and was just a shot behind the leaders.

But the bogeys of the 10th and 14th holes derailed his hopes and he fell short of holes, playing the back nine in 34.

For the sixth time in his career, Woods shot 263 points or better. This is the first time that he has not won.

Woods still had some problems, missing three times inside 15 feet three times. For the week, he was a modest 31st in the squad of 69 players.

He had 27 putts on Monday.

"Having a chance to win again this year is a very positive feeling," he said. "If I had made a few putts this week, it could have been different, even though I finished at 17 under and good looks on two of the last holes." It's positive. & # 39; & # 39;
