When Tiger Woods, a man who has 79 PGA Tour victories, second-most in the history of professional golf in the U.S., shoots an 85, the highest score in his career, you want to know how it happened. Only Woods can decipher why it happened. That has to be left to the experts.  

"We've seen something quite shocking today," Nick Faldo said during the telecast. "This is when you are on melt down."

The quick summary is that on the front nine, Woods did not find a fairway until the seventh hole. He was in the fairway for the second time on the ninth, but he hit his second shot, on line with the flag, into the water.

Third Hole: Woods found the middle of the fairway, but it's a short hole with a severe dogleg left, so he was probably hitting an iron. Par.

Fourth Hole: A 200-yard par three, Woods missed the green left into the bunker. He blasted out well but missed a four-and-a-half-footer for par. Result: bogey.

Fifth Hole: The drive went into right ...
