Tiger Woods's frustration at not being able to put together enough decent rounds to win has shown itself again..
He has managed once more to get himself involved in a new spitting controversy, this time, of all places, at the hallowed Masters where the good old boys of the Augusta National Discount Golf Club expect fans and to be called patrons and where a TV analyst was once banned for saying their greens looked as if they had been "bikini waxed".
According to
www.ohshoppingmall.com , Woods was caught by the cameras angrily spitting on the tee box at the 4th in Saturday's third round after hitting a wild and wayward drive.
On the next hole he was shown swearing when his putt from 18 feet pulled up just short of the cup.
Callaway X-24 Hot Irons on Saturday wasn't a good one for him.
A disappointing 74 moved him back, rather than forward, and although his early charge on the closing day took him from 5-under to 10-under with a 67, it wasn't enough to stop South Africa's Charl Schwartzel beating him by four shots and the Australian runners-up Adam Scott and Jason Day by two. (

Just as he did last year, Woods finished in a tie for 4th, this year with England's Luke Donald and a third Australian, Geoff Ogilvy.
In February, Woods was fined by the European Tour for spitting on the 12th green at the Dubai Desert Classic and later he said on Twitter: "The Euro Tour is right - it was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know
Callaway X-24 Hot Irons better. Just wasn't thinking and want to say I'm sorry,"
