Column: Same Old Tiger, Same Old Alibi at PGA Championship

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — There's a saying in golf that "If you're going to miss it, miss it fast."

By the time Tiger Woods' 5-foot putt for par at No. 3 slid past the hole, he was already in hot pursuit. The ball was still wobbling the first time he thought about tapping in.

Another 10 minutes on, after hitting a metal wood off the tee at No. 4, Woods started down the fairway howling to no one in particular, "How f------ bad am I putting?'

The answer, statistically speaking, is very bad. The fact that Woods let that miss linger well into the next hole — he was still cursing when he arrived at his tee shot — is even worse.
