Tiger Woods' Barclays Hopes Gone After Triple Bogey

Filed under: PGA, FedEx CupPARAMUS, N.J. (AP) -- One swing cost Tiger Woods any chance of winning The Barclays.

Now he can only hope get gets to keep playing after Sunday.

Four shots out of the lead to start the third round, Woods hit a shocking 3-wood off the first tee-part pop-up, part duck-hook-that sailed over the trees and off the property at Ridgewood Country Club. It led to a triple bogey, and he never got those three shots back.

Woods finished with back-to-back birdies for a 1-over 72 that put him well behind the leaders.

"In the end, it probably cost me a chance to win the tournament," said Woods, who rallied to get to 3-under 210. "But I'm pleased how I sucked it up and got it back the rest of the day, when it easily could have gone the other way. Hitting a ball like that, it can derail you. And it didn't. I got it right back."

It was hard to believe the swing came from someone who had only missed two fairways over the first 36 holes. Woods attributed it to having too many swing thoughts swirling between the ears.
