Tiger Woods drops six shots in last four holes in bizarre 71at Tour Championship It was suddenly forgotten that in the first-round for just the seventh time in 1,083 professional rounds he had failed to record a birdie. This was a new day and the old Tiger. Then he hit it behind a tree on the 14th and made a double-bogey six, then another wayward drive and a clunked chip cost him a bogey on the 16th and then on the 17th he made one of the most ghastly triple-bogeys of his career. Woods drove into water off the tee and then, from 75 yards, took four to get down. In a bizarre moment, Woods actually tried putting it up the hill, across Bermuda grass and barely made it to the brow. But then, he was tired. "I just ran out of gas," Woods said. "I was tired," he added. It's been a long grind. My legs were tired. I didn't rotate through the ball" Woods had a week off a fortnight ago and has played five tournaments in the last seven weeks. He won the first of these, the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, finished second in the third, The Barclays, but did not contend in the other three. Good job, really. They may have had to carry him off a stretcher yesterday. This is the man who won the 2008 US Open with a broken leg. Yet despite the fatigue and being tied 26th in the 30-man field on four-over, Woods refused to write off his chances. Having led the FedEx standings coming into this finale, he will likely still finish third for $2m even if he finishes last in this tournament. So the way is clear for Stenson to collect $11.4m tomorrow, in golf's great double giveaway: the Tour Championship and the FedEx bonus. This is Stenson's 25th tournament of the season so far compared to Woods's 17th and since finishing third in the Scottish Open he has gone on an incredible run including second in the Open and WGC Bridgestone Invitational, third in the USPGA and a win two weeks ago in the Deutsche Bank Championship. It was more of the same yesterday, with just the one bogey to go with five birdies. Scott's 69 kept him in touch and the Masters champion would also be assured of $11.4m with the win. Justin Rose is not out of it in a tie for fourth on four-under after his second 68, while fellow Englishman Luke Donald has plenty to do on level par.
