Woods: Putting let me down

Tiger Woods reflected on his second-place finish at The Masters, and admitted: "I didn't putt well all week."

A closing birdie was little consolation for Woods, whose bid for a Grand Slam fell at the first hurdle.

Woods said: "I kept dragging the blade - I wasn't releasing it like I normally do."

When a 70-footer went in on the 11th, everyone wondered if he could mount a charge and really pile the pressure on leader Trevor Immelman.

But he bogeyed the 14th, did not birdie either of the par fives and the three on the last was too little too late as the 13-time major winner signed for a final-round 72, finishing three shots adrift of Immelman.
