Hole 15: Par 4, 407 yards

Shot 2: Approach is short and to the right. In danger of giving the birdie back.
Shot 3: Lays up but has 15 feet left downhill to make par.
Shot 4: Lipped out. Gave the birdie right back.
Shot 5: Bogey.
Hole 14: Par 5, 586 yards
Shot 1: Finds the fairway.
Shot 2: Nice layup from Tiger.
Shot 3: Tiger very nearly got an eagle there. Hit the green with the wedge, and it rolled back an inch off the mark. He'll have a very makeable birdie attempt.
Shot 4: Tiger birdies and the crowd loved it. Gotta take victories where you find them.
Hole 13: Par 4, 444 yards
Shot 1: Fairway. In good position here.
Shot 2: Tiger's just not feeling it today. Hits the rough short of the green off the iron.
Shots 3, 4: Hand it to Tiger. He's not giving up. Up-and-down par.
Hole 12: Par 3, 209 yards
Shot 1: Lands in the rough by the bunker. Terrible lie.
Shot 2: Decent aattempt to get onto the green. Looking at another midrange birdie attempt.
Shot 3: Just missed it on the right. Burned the hole. Another bogey.
Shot 4: Bogey.
Hole 11: Par 4, 397 yards
Shot 1: Fairway wood off 11.
Shot 2: Tiger's in the rough just short of the green. Tough spot.
Shot 3: On the green again, but another midranger upcoming to save par.
Shot 4: And par it is. Pretty good, all things considered.
Hole 10: Par 4, 498 yards
Shot 1: Nice long drive, but doesn't have enough cut. It's in the bunker, but it does look like a nice lie.
Shot 2: Breaks out the iron and gets to the fringe.
Shots 3, 4: Two-putt par.
Hole 9: Par 4, 527 yards
Shot 1: He loved that one. Boomed it downwind and he'll have a good look from here.
Shot 2: Good approach. Looking at 20-ish feet for birdie.
Shot 3: Pulled it from the start. Left and went forward a few feet.
Shot 4: Par.
Hole 8: Par 4, 414 yards
Shot 1: Fairway. Again, not the problem here for Tiger.
Shot 2: He breaks out the 7-iron and finds the green. Long putt for par though.
Shot 3: Another great effort, another near miss. It's those approach shots that keep him from more manageable birdie attempts.
Shot 4: Par.
Hole 7: Par 3, 96 yards
Shot 1: Tiger hits the opposite end of the fairway but doesn't get the rollback he wanted. Might have been chewing on that missed birdie on Hole 6.
Shot 2: Another close miss, just left of the hole. Makeable par upcoming.
Shot 3: Terrible. He lipped it out. Three-putt bogey coming.
Shot 4: Bogey.
Hole 6: Par 5, 527 yards
Shot 1: Nice boomer down the center of the fairway.
Shot 2: Tiger didn't hit the green — might not have got all of it — but is still in decent position for an up-and-down birdie.
Shot 3: Tiger closes some distance between him and the hole. Looks like 6, 7 feet for birdie.
Shot 4: Lipped out. Not a bad look, but par it will be.
Shot 5: Par.
Hole 5: Par 3, 183 yards
Shot 1: Tiger lands on the green where it rolls a few yards away from the hole, looks to be dead-center of the green. Two-putt par definitely easily attainable from here.
Shot 2: And just like that Tiger's back to even for the tournament with a 25-foot birdie. Incredible.
Hole 4: Par 4, 317 yards
Shot 1: Tiger liked that one, didn't even bother watching it in the air. A nice stinger down the fairway. His drives haven't been the problem here, though.
Shot 2: Wonderful approach. Lands on the green and spins back to within a few feet to set up a birdie attempt. Too early to call this a can't-miss shot?
Shot 3: Finally, a birdie. He's back to just 1 over.
Hole 3: Par 4, 399 yards
Shot 1: Tiger hits another nice drive, and it carries just short of the bunker. Nice spot here.
Shot 2: Bad approach lands Tiger in the bunker to the right of the green. He'll need to scramble here.
Shot 3: Tiger takes the safe route and gets on the green instead of going over the steep edge of the bunker. He'll need a lag putt for par.
Shot 4: Misses it to the right. Has to make a bogey from a foot out.
Shot 5: Bogey, his second of the round and fourth in the last five holes.
Hole 2: Par 4, 522 yards
Shot 1: Considerably better drive here, a nice stinger down the fairway with the 3-wood. Got to make up some ground here.
Shot 2: Tiger gets an iron shot to land within 10 feet of his birdie attempt.
Shot 3: Not enough break. Missed on the right. Par upcoming.
Shot 4: Par.
Hole 1: Par 4, 375 yards
Shot 1: Tiger's drive with the iron pulls left into the rough, the first time he has missed the fairway all weekend.
Shot 2: The rough is too deep and thick for Tiger to get to the green. He'll need an up-and-down to save par.
Shot 3: Tiger chips onto the green but leaves a little more distance, 15 feet, than he'd like for par. His short game wasn't hot Friday.
Shot 4: Misses to the right. He'll bogey, his third consecutive of the tournament. He's over for the first time this tournament.
Shot 5: Bogey.
