AKRON, Ohio -- After shooting his worst score ever at Firestone Country Club on Saturday, Tiger Woods is now in position to post his worst finish over 72 holes since his first tournament as a pro.
Woods struggled to a 5-over-par 75 during the third round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, epitomized by a semi-shank on the final hole that led to a bogey.
Harig: Woods' Woes
If Tiger Woods keeps playing so poorly, he'll need a captain's pick just to play in the Ryder Cup -- assuming he even wants one, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig. Column
The world's No. 1 golfer -- perhaps only for another day -- dropped his club in disgust and had to scramble for the bogey that still gave him his highest score in 47 professional rounds at Firestone.
For the second straight day, Woods, 34, declined to talk to reporters, telling a PGA Tour media official that those waiting for comment should "talk to the leaders.'' He did offer a few comments to the media official as he walked to the clubhouse.
"Well, I drove it terrible, hit my irons terrible, didn't putt well and it added up to a lot,'' Woods said.
Asked if there was anything positive heading into next week's PGA Championship, Woods said, "No, not right now.''
