| Golf-Tiger still in the Woods as Open challenge fizzles out Sunday, Jul 21, 2013 12:23 PM PDT By Martyn Herman GULLANE, Scotland, July 21 (Reuters) - Tiger Woods resorted to technical jargon and gripes about slow greens as his long major drought continued on Sunday with a disappointing final round at the British Open. The American, who has been stuck on 14 majors for five years, never looked like restarting his collection at Muirfield despite beginning the fourth round just two shots off the pace. Woods has never won a major when starting from behind in the fourth round and from the moment he bogeyed the first at Muirfield on Sunday that sequence was destined to continue. ...
