If you want a sign of how far Woods' game has descended this year take a look at his last three starts. At the AT&T National he failed to break par in any of the four rounds, the first time he had suffered that fate since the 1999 Bay Hill Invitational. Then he went to St Andrews for the Open Championship. Compare his last three efforts there: in 2000 he won by eight strokes, in 2005 he won by five strokes, in 2010 he finished in a tie for 23rd. Next up was the Bridgestone Invitational, at his favourite course Firestone. He has won there seven times and in 11 visits had never finished outside the top five; last week he was 78th. We know that in the wake of his marriage crisis he is struggling to assert his authority over the field and seems a less mentally strong golfer. But doubts remain about the health of his knee, and his putting - the aspect of his game that was always his 'Get Out of Jail' card - is totally out of kilter. It seems doubtful that he will add another major at Whistling Straits - he never looked comfortable there in 2004 (he was 103rd after round one before finishing 24th) and he has never been keen on Pete Dye designs.
