In his second tournament back after a long layoff due to personal reasons Tiger Woods, playing in the Charlotte Quail Hollow Championship played poorly and promptly missed the cut today. Woods shot a 79 and finished the tournament at 9+ after shooting a 74 the day before in the opening round. Woods playing like the "bizarro-Tiger" missed greens, couldn't putt and missed fairways by miles. The uncharacteristic tenacity never showed up to Charlotte with Woods and once he knew he would not be able to catch his rare form we all know, he then mailed it in and just simply quit. When asked if missing the cut bothered him, Woods responded "It does bother me, no doubt. But at least I get the weekend to watch and see how it's done, how real players play golf, and hopefully I can piece it together for next week and be ready to go." Woods has never shown that his personal life was bothering him until this week and it was a sight to see. I wish the young man luck in his personal life and hope that he can make it back to the course and bring his mind with him next week when he tees it up at The Players Championship at Sawgrass.
