Repeat win so soon after Masters too much for tired Tiger

As it turns out, magical comeback victories require more practice and rest time than Tiger Woods has had since winning the Masters last month for his 15th major title.

So the 43-year-old US star was disappointed but realistic Friday after missing the cut at the PGA Championship just a month after ending his 11-year major win drought.

"It's just the way it goes," Woods said. "Unfortunately I made too many mistakes and just didn't do the little things I need to do.

"I had a couple three-putts. I didn't hit wedges close. I didn't hit any fairways today. Did a lot of little things wrong."
Asked if he had managed to practice enough for the event, Woods replied, "Definitely not."
"It's a nice problem to have. I've enjoyed being the Masters champion again and the PGA was a quick turnaround and unfortunately I just didn't play well."
"There's no reason why I can't get up to speed again and crank it back up," he said. "I've got to start feeling a little bit better first before that happens."
