We’re running out of adjectives to describe Tiger Woods—and that’s his fault as much as it is ours.

For the first decade, PGA Tour analysts struggled to find fresh superlatives to characterize his greatness. Now, after he missed the cut at the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, they’re scrambling to find adjectives to describe his play at the other end of the spectrum.

Tiger was 10 shots over par after Round 1. That 80 saw him tied for 152nd in a field of 156, leaving him 15 shots behind leader Dustin Johnson. What’s more, Woods was outplayed by Cole Hammer: a 15-year-old amateur who carded a 77 in Round 1.

After an abysmal first day, Tiger had it all to do in Round 2. Though he held it together better on Friday, he failed to muster a real response and stayed firmly mired in the dregs of the scoreboard at six over par for the second round. He finished the tournament tied for 150th.

Here, we will break down the three-time U.S. Open champion’s 36 holes at this year’s event into the categories of driving, iron play, greens play, decision-making and overall play. We’ll assess Tiger in each category and assign him a letter grade based on the traditional A-to-F scale.

As you might expect, Woods didn’t exactly make the honor roll. But despite his overall performance, there were some (small) positive takeaways for Tiger.
