It's as improbable as it is incredible that Tiger Woods, rust or no rust, would ever shoot north of 80 in a professional golf tournament.
On Friday, that's what happened though as Woods shot 44-38 for the worst single round he's ever had as a pro. And maybe ever.
The 44 on the back nine of the course (his front nine) tied his worst nine holes ever.
After a Friday that ended with a promising back nine of 34, Woods made six bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple bogey as the carnage unfolded at TPC Scottsdale.
He did everything you'd expect someone who just shot 82 to do. He hit it in the water, hit it out of bounds, missed short putts and hit a bucket of bad chips. The chipping is probably the part that's most concerning. He looks legitimately lost with a wedge in his hands.
Woods will miss the cut by 12-13 strokes, which is not a sentence I ever thought I'd type about him.
After cracking a Super Bowl-related joke to open his press conference ("I'm just here so I won't get fined"), Woods offered a somber reality.
"I've got to keep things in perspective, sometimes it's difficult to do that," said Woods. "I've got to continue with the process. I've been here before. It wasn't too long ago that I changed my swing with Sean (Foley)."
"It's golf. We all have days like this. Unfortunately, mine was in a public forum."
The 82 tops his previous worst score ever of 81 at the 2002 British Open.
