Masters 2024 live updates

Woods’ face said it all coming off the course. He exited Augusta through the traditional tunnel of patrons clapping and cheering, some extending fists. Woods was stone faced the whole way, barely blinking.

The 10-over 82 is a new record-high score in his major championship professional career — the worst of all 307 major rounds he’s played over the last 27 years.

Woods said afterward he began Saturday with a poor warmup session and never found rhythm throughout the round.

“Just hitting the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it,” Woods said. “And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makable putts. I missed a lot of them.”

The results: Woods found only four fairways in the third round, hit eight greens in regulation and tallied 34 putts.

Following Friday’s triumph of making his record 24th straight Masters cut as a professional, Saturday made you wonder if it was worth it. Woods limped more noticeably throughout Saturday, the result of Friday’s demanding 23-hole day stemming from opening round delays on Thursday.

Starting his third round at 1-over par for the tournament and tied for 27th on the leaderboard, Woods opened by striping the first fairway. A little over an hour later, he arrived at No. 6 still at even par. Then it all went wrong, quickly. A bogey-double bogey-double bogey-bogey stretch wrapped up a front-nine 42. On the back, he struggled with five bogeys buffered by only one bogey.

On 9, Woods finished a one-handed follow through in obvious pain, as his ball tumbled into the right pine straw. His next swing looked just as unbearable, as he again finished with one hand on the club.

Woods admitted to being warn out by Friday’s haul, but said he plans to continue Sunday. That very well could rely on his post-round physical therapy session. Woods has withdrawn from two of his last three major tournament appearances due to physical limitations.

“It will be a long night and a long warmup session, but we’ll be ready,” Woods said.
