On Friday, Tiger Woods knocked down a clutch birdie putt that put him just above the cut line at the 2015 Players Championship. On Saturday, Woods turned in a round that might make him wish that putt had lipped out.

The former world No. 1 carded a three-over 75 in his third round at the TPC Sawgrass, nosediving to the bottom of the standings amid struggles with every club in his bag, minus the driver. Woods shanked balls into the rough, woods and even once short of the ladies' tee on a particularly wayward swing.



The result was yet another setback in a series full of them for Woods, who looked to be rounding into form last month at Augusta. His driver and approach shots have been failing him all week, forcing him to scramble and gain ground in the rare cases his putter worked. It was a polar opposite of his first two rounds, after which Woods said he left shots on the table.

"I haven't gotten anything out of my rounds. That's the thing," Woods told reporters on Friday. "I should be a few under par each day, and I'm just not capitalizing on my opportunities. And I need to start doing that."



Though still a disappointing round, it almost felt at points like 75 was the best Woods was going to do. He opened the day with a double-bogey on the par-five second hole, which featured the aforementioned drive that didn't come close to even reaching the fairway. The 105-yard swing, caused by a drive that slammed against a tree and ricocheted into the pre-fairway rough, left him scrambling just to make the double.

Another bogey on No. 6 put him three over on the day, a mistake he atoned for instantly with a birdie on No. 7. Unfortunately, that's where the feel-good story ends. Woods, playing on the par-five ninth he'd birdied each of the last two days, needed three pitches just to get the ball on the green before two-putting for another double-bogey.
