PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Throughout the highs and lows of Tiger Woods’ career, he has never given any reason to question his golf IQ.
Even during his darkest years, Woods was rarely guilty of a mental error that would cost him strokes.
But on Friday at The Players Championship, that nearly spotless record came into question when he sailed his tee shot at the par-3 17th deep into the green and then deep into the pond.
The situation turned ugly when his attempt from the drop zone also bounced into the watery abyss en route to a quadruple bogey-7.
