On paper, a Saturday group featuring Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth is must-watch TV.
In reality, it was a round you could only stream online and one that Woods would like to soon forget.
Woods, this week’s host at the Genesis Invitational, started Saturday on the driveable par-4 10th hole and made a mess of the rest of the back nine at Riviera Country Club, ultimately signing for a 5-over 76, walking off the course in 65th place, fourth from last place among those who made the cut.
The 15-time major champion made the turn at 5-over 41 after a trio of birdies on Nos. 11, 14 and 16, but the real damage came at No. 13. Woods four-putted for the second time in as many events this season, this time from just 18 feet, making a disastrous double-bogey.

It was just the 14th time in Woods’ professional career that he’s four-putted.
Then Woods got into a bit of a rhythm, making two birdies in the opening three holes on the front nine. He then gave a shot right back with a bogey on No. 4 before making four straight pars and a fifth bogey to end the day on his final hole.
