It’s not enough that there are dozens of hazards above ground. Tiger Woods, who finished this tournament tied for 17th at five-under par, hit a subterranean hazard that could have sent his mediocre final round into another injury inquiry from now until Father’s Day.
Woods’ ball sat off the fairway (a trend) in the pine straw on No. 9, and when he thumped his blade down on the ball, he clunked a root that stung his right wrist.
"A bone kind of popped out," Woods said in a post-round interview on CBS. "The joint went out of place. I put it back in."
Oh, boy.
Golf Channel’s Tiger Tracker tweeted, “He’s looked as good as he has in a long, long time and now this happens. Son of a biscuit eater.”
Woods’ final round and final pairing with world No. 1 Rory McIlroy was about as underwhelming a twosome as we’ve seen. That said, Woods put to bed all the questions about his health and his wayward short game by being in the third to last group Sunday at the Masters. Chew on that beef jerky.
Grading this round had everything to do with performance by looking at fairways hit (or not), greens hit (or not) and putts made (or not). Woods was held to his usual standard, not this a comeback standard.
Let’s find out how he did in the final round at Augusta National Golf Club.
