Tiger Woods had worked himself into contention on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. But trailing by one shot on the 16th tee, an errant tee shot went out of bounds.

For all intents and purposes, this took Woods out of the tournament. A par-five gave Woods a golden opportunity to tie or even take the lead. As it was, though, he made a bogey six. With only two holes remaining and the leaders having par-fives remaining, a victory now seems out of reach.

But while it appears as though Tiger will not win, he again showed that he can contend and stay healthy while doing so. He’ll absolutely be a threat in three weeks at Augusta.
