Tiger had an easier drop option on No. 17 at The Players on Friday

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Tiger Woods’ day unraveled on one hole during Friday’s second round at The Players Championship when his tee shot sailed deep into the 17th green, bounced once and trickled into the water hazard that surrounds the island green.

Things only got worse from there for Woods, who was 3 under through seven holes at the time, when he hit his third shot from the drop zone over the green and into the water hazard again. He would make a quadruple-bogey 7 on the hole on his way to a 1-under 71.

It turns out Woods had other options after hitting his tee shot in the water.
