Woods avoids penalty: 'Didn't feel like I made contact twice'

NASSAU, Bahamas – Tiger Woods was putting the finishing touches on a bounce-back round at the Hero World Challenge when the 18th hole got him again.

Woods pushed his 5-wood tee shot into a bush right of the fairway and had to play his next shot from his knees, advancing that attempt only a few yards. He failed to reach the green with his next shot and finished with a double bogey-6 and a 3-under 69.

It wasn’t until Woods was in the scoring area that he was informed his second shot at the 18th hole was under review with officials checking to see if he hit the chip twice.
