Woods admitted, “I didn’t do a whole lot of things right today.”
“I think I had three three-putts today after making that putt on the third hole.
“I didn’t give myself a lot of attention today, and I didn’t hit my irons very close.
“To get something going on the weekend, I need to shoot something in the mid-60s tomorrow.”

“Earlier in the year, I felt like I could play a little bit more. I believe my optimism was a tad bit excessive. I have to work out much harder and continue making the same kind of progress as we have.”
Woods, Patrick Cantlay, and Xander Schauffele are all gone early tomorrow.
