Tiger Woods fails to make Tour Championship
There is still plenty of golf ahead for Tiger Woods this year but his PGA Tour season came to an early end at the BMW Championship on Sunday after he failed to earn a spot in the Tour Championship.
For the first time in 15-years, Woods finishes his PGA Tour season without claiming a single title but the world number one at least managed to exit on a positive note firing three birdies on a bogey-free back nine for a final round one-under 70.
The back-nine charge, however, was far too little, too late to earn Woods a place in the elite 30-man field for the lucrative season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. His one-under total of 283 left him in a tie for 15th and well out of the fifth place finish he needed to advance to the finale.
"That's just the way it is," shrugged Woods, when asked if he was disappointed not to be headed to Atlanta. "I didn't play well early in the year and I didn't play well in the middle of the year. "I would rather be there. I've played better than I have all this year. "But it is what it is. I didn't qualify and since I'm at home it gives me two weeks to practice and prepare."
"I think his game is like inches from being there," said Mickelson. "His speed is back. He's solid, very close. He's hitting shots. "He hit a lot of good shots there coming in. He made a couple of bogeys and followed up with a number of birdies there towards the end. "You can tell that his game is like inches from turning because his speed is back and his putter looks great. "His game is not far off at all. It looks very close to being right there."
