Tiger Woods fired his most solid round of the year on Sunday, shooting a six-under-par, 66.

With this final round score, Woods moved from a tie in 30th place to a tie for 10th.

And while I do not believe Woods has met this fate, his recent struggles with his putter suggest that he may come to meet this fate sooner than expected.

That is not saying Woods is never going to compete again. I think Woods will compete again and very soon.

Woods had one good round with the putter, as a result he had one spectacular score.

Woods also had three poor rounds with the putter; as a result he left ...
