Tiger Woods’ rough Masters finish included left-handed shot

After making the cut at the 2022 Masters, his first official tournament nearly 14 months after a grisly car crash that nearly cost him his ♈leg, Tiger Woods appeared to run out of steam.

Woods, 46, followed up his third-round 78 with another 6-over 78 in Sunday’s final round at Augusta to finish the tournament 13-over.

Many wondered whether Wo🙈ods would ever make it back to Augusta after his car crash, let alone make the cut.

“I had the same questions,” Woods said on CBS after finishing the tournament. “It was an unbelievable feeling.”

After a birdie on the par-5♌ second, Woods, donning his traditional Sunday red shirt, bogeyed three stꦬraight holes from Nos. 4 to 6. He later bogeyed Nos. 11 and 14 before recording a double bogey on the par-4 17th.

One wayward 🐲shot on the 13th forced Woods to h🌊it left-handed, but he managed to save par after missing a long birdie putt.
