Tiger Woods' third round was a microcosm of everything that's gone wrong in his game the last two years. Wayward drives, poorly struck irons and the occasional grimace defined an 18-hole stretch that saw him nosedive to the bottom of the leaderboard.   

For a while, Woods' fourth round looked like it'd remind fans why he's one of the all-time greats. Then things, as they have so many times, fell apart.

The former world No. 1 carded an even-par 72, leaving him in a tie for 70th place heading into the clubhouse.



"I had a mixed bag all week," Woods said, per Golf Channel's Tiger Tracker. "Lotta good stuff, some mediocre, some bad."



For most of the day, it appeared as though Woods would turn in his best round of the weekend. He went through the front nine at even par, birdieing the par-three third before a bogey on No. 7. Woods even fell short on a couple of opportunities for birdie, which made his start to the back nine all the more promising.

Building on the momentum of a front nine in which he fell just short, Woods started red hot on the back. He hit three straight birdies on Nos. 10-12, which included a number of sensational shots. He drilled his approach within five feet on No. 10, narrowly missed an eagle on a 36-foot putt on the 11th and drained a 40-foot birdie on the par-four 12th. Finally getting breaks he hadn't all week, it appeared Woods would turn in a round that brought his tournament to respectability.

Unfortunately, there were six more holes to play.



All of the work Woods did to show a return to form fell apart on the par-four 14th. Opening with a 285-yard shot that sank right into the water, Woods was out of sorts from his first shot through his last. He wound up spraying two more shots in the rough and another to just outside the green before two-putting and carding a triple-bogey.
