Tiger Woods has not lost a tournament at Torrey Pines since 2004. 

That is about to change tomorrow.

Tiger struggled with his swing, made a few careless mistakes and shot his way out of the tournament Saturday.

Grade: D

 

Putting

Horrendous.

That is the only way I can describe Tiger's putting today. He needed 31 putts. That is an almost astronomical number for a professional.

He will not win a single tournament all year if he does not find a w...
