Tiger Woods score: Recap from final round of Quicken Loans National image

Tiger Woods entered Sunday's final round of the 2018 Quicken Loans National seven shots back from the leaders after what he called a "frustrating" two-under 68 in the third round. Woods would begin the fourth round at seven under for the tournament, tied for ninth place.

Unlike in previous tournaments this year, when putting has been his biggest issue, Tiger's struggles have come from a variety of areas in his game. His inability to put together a round of consistent drives, approaches and putts has left him lagging behind the leaders.
