MARANA, Arizona (AP) ― Tiger Woods had a 5-foot birdie putt to extend the match, and Nick Watney already was thinking about how to play the next hole. He had his yardage book out, trying to decide whether 3-wood was the right club to hit off the first tee.“The old adage is to expect your opponent to make it,” Watney said. “And when it’s Tiger Woods, you really expect him to make it.”Just not this Tiger Woods.In what is becoming a troubling trend for Woods, he missed the birdie putt so badly that

Tiger still a target
MARANA, Arizona (AP) ― Tiger Woods must be mellowing with age.There was a time when a comment from his opponent in the Match Play Championship, even tongue-in-cheek, would be an extra bit of motivation that Woods didn’t need. Most famous at this event was in 2006, when Stephen Ames was asked about playing Woods and said that anything could happen, adding with a big smile, “Especially where he’s hitting it.”Woods beat him 9 and 8, the most lopsided score in tournament history.But that was when Wo
