The positives for Tiger Woods in 2015 have been few and far between. String together a couple of good drives, maybe sink a few putts and, for the love of all things holy, make it to the weekend. In that regard, the 2015 Quicken Loans National was already a success before Sunday's final round.

Woods' hot putter continued on No. 9, as he hit a lengthy 42-foot shot for birdie that helped him make the turn at...
