AUGUSTA, Ga. — In his prime, Tiger Woods bounced balls off his wedge.
Friday? He drop-kicked his club at Augusta National.
Woods booted his 9-iron after dumping his tee shot on No. 16 into the front-right bunker.
“We can safely say Tiger has lost his game… and his mind,” three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo commented on the CBS broadcast.
Woods’ take: “It’s a simple 9-iron, not that hard. It’s a very easy golf shot.”
Not for him. Not this day.
After getting to 2 under for the round and tournament with a birdie on No. 3, Woods played his final 15 holes in 5 over to card a 75, his highest round here since logging a pair of them in 2004.
“I’ve been working hard on my short game,” Woods said, “and I think what Sean (Foley) and I have been talking about might have crept into my full swing.”
On No. 15, Woods semi-shanked his approach into the gallery, then failed to clear a bunker with his flop shot. He is tied for 40th, eight behind co-leaders Fred Couples and Jason Dufner.
“One of the neat things about this tournament is the 10-shot rule,” he said. “Anyone who makes the cut can win the tournament.”
TAP-INS: Australian Jason Day couldn’t finish his second round, withdrawing with a foot injury…. Canada’s Mike Weir shot 79 to miss the cut at seven-over 151.
