Woods not only putted a ball in the water, he also duck-hooked a drive into a tree on No. 2 and then sprayed his next shot into the trees all the way on the other side of the fairway.

Disgusted, he kicked at his bag as he walked up to the ball in the woods. He then hit his next shot into a greenside bunker and had to hole a 25-footer for par.

And even when Woods hit it good, bad things happened.

His wedge on the first hole hit the pin, only to kick back and roll into the front bunker. What likely would have been a birdie turned into a bogey, further dampening his mood.

And he didn’t get much sympathy from one of his competitors.

“He’s had a few good breaks over his career,” Chris DiMarco said. “It’s golf. It’s just the way it is.”

Woods had to start on the back nine when thunderstorms forced Masters officials to juggle tee times. He was 1-over after three holes when he came to the 13th, which traditionally ranks as one of the easiest holes on the course.

Woods reached the green of the par-5 with a tough shot out of the pines, but his ball bounded some 70 feet past the pin tucked in front. He lined up his eagle putt, gave it a rap with his putter and watched as it raced past the hole, picked up speed and rolled off the green.

Woods was walking toward the hole when the ball disappeared, going down the hill and rolling into the water. He took off his cap in disbelief as Williams ran for the bag he had left on the next tee in case his boss wanted to try to wedge it out of the water.

Instead, Woods called over a rules official and placed another ball where his had originally been. Then he putted again, this time for par. That putt ended up about a foot from the hole, and Woods tapped in for bogey.
