FARMINGDALE, N.Y. _ It was moments after he played himself out of the PGA Championship, and Tiger Woods was already approaching his two days here at Bethpage Black with a sort of clinical acceptance.
He would learn from it, Woods said immediately after posting a five-over 145 over two days, missing the cut by one stroke. And regardless of what happened this weekend, it doesn't diminish what he did last month at Augusta.
"I'm the Masters Champion and 43 years old and that's a pretty good accomplishment," he said. "I've enjoyed being the Masters Champion again, and the PGA was a quick turnaround, and unfortunately I just didn't _ I just didn't play well ... I didn't do all the little things I need to do correctly to post good scores and put myself in position to shoot good scores."
