Tiger Woods did not play great golf [at Riviera]. He made 12 bogeys and two more double bogeys and shot 76-77 to close the Genesis Invitational, where he was doubling as tournament host.
He finished 68th, which is also last place among players who made the cut, just the second time he’s done that in his career. (Winner Adam Scott bested Woods by 22.) He was angry, sure, but afterwards he was asked if these weeks bother him less than they had in the past, and he told reporters how his perspective has changed over the years.
“Well, considering the fact that I look at it that this part of my career really didn’t exist a few years ago, so to be able to do that no matter what I shoot, it’s still disappointing, it’s still frustrating, I’m still a little ticked,” Woods said. “But I also look at it from a perspective which I didn’t do most of my career — I have a chance to play going down the road. A few years ago that wasn’t the case.”
