Tiger Woods had his worst career finish at Torrey Pines – a place he has won seven times in his career, including his most valiant major championship triumph in the 2008 US Open. Woods had never finished worse than 10th in the Farmers Insurance Open (or any other iteration of it). On Sunday, Woods’ name was on the leaderboard line for T44. That is a shocking position for Woods at a tournament where the Sunday headline used to be pre-written on Monday.
Tiger told reporters he began the week hitting the ball well, then it slowly got worse through the week. Woods struggled with his new mechanics, making moves and hitting positions that were somewhat familiar to prior swings, but getting there in different ways. Woods is trying to match those positions through the bag, he says, which means deviating from the short game touch that allowed him to grind – and even win – without his best stuff.
