Any golfer can look back after playing a round to see where their score could have been lower. For Tiger Woods on Saturday at Augusta, the list is pretty long.
#1: Missed a five foot par putt (lipped)
#2: Missed a five foot birdie putt (lipped)
#5: Left birdie putt one centimeter short
#8: Failed to get up and down from behind the green on par-5
#9: Missed 8 foot birdie putt
#11: Missed 2 foot par putt
#15: Three jacked for par (missed 5 foot birdie putt)
#18: Failed to get up and down from over green (missed 7 foot par putt)
Had he taken advantage of all these opportunities, he would be at -13 with a one shot lead. Had he taken advantage of just half of these opportunities, he would be at -9, playing in the final group with McILroy. As it stands, he took advantage of none of them and is seven shots back. Woods most likely needs a 65 in the final round to have any chance.
