In between NCAA basketball games on Sunday, I switched over to the Arnold Palmer Invitational just in time to see Tiger Woods hit his ball in the water on both the 17th and 18th holes. What an astounding sight to see the World’s Greatest Golfer rinsing his tee shot on the par 3 17th hole and then hitting his third shot on No. 18 into the drink as well. Tiger finished double bogey, triple bogey to shoot a Mr. Fairway-like 43 on the back and 76 for the round. That was his highest tournament round since a 76 at the Memorial in 2003. He finished T-22 ending a streak of 13 top 10 finishes.
