Tiger's First Career MDF After Torrey Pines 79
/For those of you keeping track at home, that's a Made Cut, Did Not Finish in the PGA Tour acronym world. And worse for Tiger, he played the par-5s a stunning +4 for the week. 
Doug Ferguson with the gory details of Tiger's third round 79 at Torrey Pines and the historical implications.
Woods went seven straight holes making bogey or worse at Torrey Pines and, for the first time in his career, he missed a 54-hole cut that is in effect when more than 78 players make it to the weekend.
Woods had to rally just to break 80.
After the round, Woods emerged from the scorecard signing area in the Torrey Pines halfway house but declined to be interviewed.
Asked to stop for a comment at least with CBS Sports, Woods said, "No, I'm done." He signed a dozen autographs, climbed into a van and was driven away.
Perhaps the most remarkable figure of this week: He didn't make a single birdie on a par 5 over three rounds. In fact, he played them in 4-over par.
**Will Gray went the whole way with Tiger and noted his troubles from the high rough around the greens.
With precision so often a trademark of his play around the greens, Woods struggled to get seemingly routine chips within a 10-foot circle, and by the time his second pitch found the hole for an improbable par at No. 8, he had resigned to hitting the ball without so much as a practice swing.
Bob Harig points out what a quick and startling unraveling it was for Woods following a birdie on 17 and a great drive on 18, setting up a go at the green in two shots.
Starting on the back nine, things appeared routine enough through eight holes. He had made three birdies and two bogeys to stand at 2-under par for the tournament. He then hit a perfect drive, 302 yards, at the par-5 18th.
From there, everything unraveled. Woods' second shot from 254 yards found the pond that fronts the green. His fourth shot went into a bunker over the green and plugged. He blasted out and two-putted for a double-bogey 7.
He then went to the front side where he doubled the first hole after a 3-putt -- the first time he made consecutive double bogeys since the 2011 PGA Championship -- and followed that with five straight bogeys.
**Robert Lusetich puts the performance into proper perspective.
Peter Kostis, the CBS analyst, said Woods, who’s definitely bulked up, was swinging too much with his upper body and didn’t lead enough with his lower body.
Who’d have thought it: Tiger Woods swinging like an over-the-top Sunday morning hacker.
And they were among the tamer conclusions. Many denizens of social media had Woods written off, never to win again.
But one man who wasn’t panicking amid Saturday’s carnage was Sean Foley, Woods’ coach.
“It’s just three days in a long year,” he said. “I like what I’m seeing in practice, so we will just continue working and see where it leads us.”
