Tour Report: Woods struggles to 74 (PGATOUR.com)

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods’ chances for a seventh career title at Bay Hill pretty much sank when his ball found the water on the par-5 16th hole Saturday.

With his ball in a fairway bunker and 184 yards from the hole, Woods went for the green and came up short. It was the second time he found the water in the third round — on No. 13 Woods inexplicably rinsed his approach shot from 118 yards from the middle of the fairway.

In the end, Woods finished with a 74, which matches his highest ever third-round score at Bay Hill. He had four bogeys, two birdies, an eagle and a double bogey. Woods also hit his fewest number of greens all week – 10 — and took 30 putts, missing four from inside 10 feet.

Woods also failed to save par from the bunker twice on Saturday and for the week is 0-for-5 from the sand.

Only twice has Woods ever finished outside the top 25 at Bay Hill — in 2004 when he tied for 46th and in 1999 when he tied for 56th — but after Saturday’s round, he might add a third. — Brian Wacker
