The old Tiger Woods would still be scaring the field at seven shots back going into the final day, but not this one. Tiger continues to look human, even after consecutive sub-70 days has him a far cry from the place he was after he shot a poor 71 on day one. Tiger sits at a respectable two-under after finishing up day three action with a 69 to follow his 68 on day two.

This time the fall came on the first day, and it effectively ended any realistic hopes of him winning this tournament.

I remember a time when realistic didn't...
