Tiger Woods down, but not yet out at Match Play Globe_Sports
Tiger Woods hits from the rough on the sixth hole during round-robin play at the Dell Match Play Championship golf tournament, Thursday, March 28, 2019, in Austin, Texas.The magical escape by Tiger Woods didn’t keep him from losing Thursday in the Dell Technologies Match Play.
Brandt Snedeker took advantage of too many mistakes by Woods off the tee and on the greens for a 2-and-1 victory, a big one for Snedeker because of his opponent’s name and reputation. But it was just one win. Horschel and Spieth halved their match in the opening round, both won on Thursday, and if they win again — Spieth faces Watson, Horschel gets Na — they would be in a playoff to determine who reaches the knockout stage on the weekend.
Instead, Woods dropped to his right knee to play a left-handed shot , inverting the club and holding it parallel to the ground. He not only made contact, the ball bounced out to about four feet and he made the par putt. Snedeker had to make his putt to keep the match from being tied, which he did.
