AUGUSTA NATIONAL — Cold and wet golf is no place for old tigers whose legs are held together with steel pins. Tiger Woods watched August for his entire 47-plus years, scars from countless surgeries clinging to him as the weather turned bad on Masters Saturday.
When the horn blew at 3:17 p.m. to stop play on the day Woods was last dead, three 9 over par shots from the field. With the prospect of playing 29 holes on Sunday, Woods must have been lying in bed wondering if that was wise. continue.
Woods retired from last year’s PGA Championship with leg pain after scoring a career-worst 79 in the third round. After just seven holes, Woods had six left before the third round. No one would have blamed him if he had not intervened.
If that were the case, we might see him last in Augusta. This raises an additional question. If he can’t compete here, what’s the point of playing somewhere else?
While Woods can still hit, doing so for four days in a row at ever longer distances is clearly problematic. Ceremonial golf is not the job of a modern golfer.
Woods dug him up like a soldier, he has to play the last seven holes of his second round to hit an over-par three. The weather was already terrible when Wood’s alarm rang at 4:45 a.m., and it only got worse as the day wore on.
The split tee started plugging as many holes as he could and Woods started his third round in 10th place. The other was to follow on the 14th before finding water on the 15th and 16th to pick up double scarecrows on each.
He walked up to the 17th trio and chewed gum as if releasing an anesthetic. To his credit, he slid the ball off the tee and found the left side of the fairway. It was pouring rain at this point, rendering the players’ protective gear unusable. Picking up the racket was a challenge, not to mention picking the right number.
Woods missed the green on approach, his ball licked into the lake, formerly known as the bunker, to the right of the green. And he’ll have to get back to this ungodly place at 8:30 when he decides it still makes sense.
