Tiger Woods headed toward worst Masters score of career after tough start Saturday

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tiger Woods will have work to do Sunday to avoid the worst Masters round of his career.

The five-time Masters winner recorded consecutive double bogeys in the third round and was 6 over par through seven holes when play was suspended for the day at Augusta National.

Limping down the 17th fairway in 45-degree temperatures and a steady rain, Woods was in last place, by three shots, when the horn sounded.

Woods’ worst-ever rounds at Augusta National came a year ago, when he recorded weekend rounds of 78 after making the cut in his first competitive start in 14 months because of serious injuries to his lower right leg.
