Charlie was pictured seemingly giving his dad some swing tips on the practice range at Augusta National, advice even a 15-time major champion may have welcomed following a demoralising third round of 82.

That was the 48-year-old바카라s worst score in the Masters by four shots and meant an early tee time on Sunday alongside Neal Shipley, the only amateur to make the cut.

Woods started in style with a 360-yard drive on the par-five second to help set up a straightforward birdie, but bogeyed the third after his chip from short of the green failed to climb the steep slope and rolled back to his feet.

Worse was soon to come on the fifth as a wild drive into the trees resulted in an unplayable lie and meant Woods had to be driven back to the tee to hit another ball, leading to a triple-bogey seven.

Another bogey on the sixth and three subsequent pars took Woods to the turn in 40, the same score he opened with in 1997 before covering the back nine in 30 on his way to a 12-shot win.

It was also five shots worse than playing partner Shipley, but Woods typically refused to throw in the towel and covered the back nine in 37 to return a closing 77.

바카라This is a golf course I knew going into it so I바카라ve got to do my homework going forward at Valhalla and Pinehurst and Troon, but that바카라s kind of the game-plan,바카라 Woods said.

바카라I heard there were some changes at the next couple of sites so I바카라ve got to get up there early and check them out.바카라

Despite finishing last of the 60 players to make the weekend, Woods did at least make a record 24th consecutive cut and insisted: 바카라It was a good week all around.

바카라I think that coming in not having played a full tournament in a very long time it was a good fight Thursday and Friday, unfortunately yesterday didn바카라t quite turn out the way I wanted to.

바카라It doesn바카라t take much to get out of position here. Unfortunately, I got out of position a lot yesterday and a couple times today.

바카라Today, the round that Tom (Kim, who shot 66) is playing is what I thought I had in my system and I just didn바카라t produce it.바카라

Woods finished his round an hour before the final pairing of Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa teed off, Scheffler having birdied the 18th in Saturday바카라s third round to hold a one-shot lead over the two-time major champion.

A birdie on the third briefly doubled Scheffler바카라s advantage, but the world number one promptly bogeyed the next after misjudging the wind and failing to get up and down from over the green.

Scheffler was also unable to save par from a bunker on the seventh and fell back into a four-way tie for the lead with Morikawa, Max Homa and Sweden바카라s Ludvig Aberg, who had birdied the second and seventh to continue his hugely impressive major championship debut.
