AUGUSTA, Ga. - Tiger Woods arrived at Augusta National as a favorite to win his fifth green jacket.
Instead, he left with his worst score as a pro.
A 74 on Sunday put Woods at 5-over 293, his worst four-round score at the Masters since he posted the same number as a first-time amateur in 1995. When he left the course Sunday, he was tied for 40th. He finished tied for 41st in 1995.
"It was an off week at the wrong time," he said.
He was just 1 under for the week on the par 5s, where he normally collects birdies by the handful.
"If I look back on the week, I played the par 5s atrociously," he said. "This is a golf course you just have to dominate the par 5s, and I did not do that at all this week."
No major for Garcia?

Sergio Garcia thinks the only major title he'll ever have is this: best player never to win one.
Garcia said after a dismal third round at the Masters that he doesn't think he's capable of winning a major, and he didn't back off on Sunday.
"Unfortunately at the moment, unless I get really lucky in one of the weeks, I can't really play much better than I played this week. And I'm going to finish 13th or 15th. What does that show you?" he said.
He's hardly been a washout, with 10 victories on the European Tour and another seven on the PGA Tour.
But he's never quite lived up to his star billing, either. At 32, he's now 0 for 54 in the majors.
