SAN FRANCISCO, June 16<\/span> (Reuters) – Very little went right
\nfor Tiger Woods during Saturday’s third round at the U.S. Open
\nas he fell out of a tie for the lead to end a frustrating day at
\nthe Olympic Club five strokes off the pace.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In pursuit of his first major victory in four years,
\nthree-times champion Woods struggled with his putting, often
\nfound himself in between clubs for approach shots and repeatedly
\nmissed fairways off the tee by very slight margins.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The former world number one, who had been joint top
\novernight with fellow Americans Jim Furyk and David Toms, piled
\nup six bogeys and just one birdie for a five-over-par 75 to
\nfinish at four-over 214 in a tie for 14th.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As Woods made his way up the hill to the Spanish-style
\nclubhouse to sign his card, he bumped his hand into a
\nphotographer’s camera but later said that his wrist was “fine”.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

After speaking to reporters, the 14-times champion
\nimmediately headed off to the practice putting green to work on
\nhis short game.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I struggled on the greens today, quite a bit,” Woods said
\nafter being outscored by his playing partner Furyk by five
\nshots. “They looked quick, but they putted slow.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“But they were firmer than they were yesterday so it was a
\ntough feel for me to adjust. And it was just one of those days
\nwhere I was right in between clubs on about every single shot.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I just never quite had the right number.”
