Tiger Woods admitted he was “ticked off” after seeing his hopes of winning a third Players Championship title suffer a potentially fatal blow on the famous 17th hole at Sawgrass. Woods began the second round five shots off the lead but had moved ominously up the leaderboard with birdies on the 12th, 13th and 16th, having started from the 10th tee. However, the former world number one then dumped two balls into the water on the par-three 17th on his way to a damaging quadruple-bogey seven. Tiger Woods puts two in the water on No. The first one I hit surprised me,” Woods told reporters.
