PALM HARBOR, Fla. It was a day that began with great promise, but one that ended in a bit of disappointment. Here are a few observations after walking the final round of the Valspar Championship alongside Tiger Woods, whose bid for an 80th career win came up just short: Woods shot a 1-under 70, his fourth straight round under par on the Copperhead Course. But he ultimately fell one shot short of a potential playoff with Paul Casey, tying for second alongside Patrick Reed. The budding momentum that built steadily over the first three rounds simply wasnt there for much of the day. After grabbing a share of the lead with an opening birdie, Woods gave a shot back on the short fourth hole and spent the next three hours just making pars. By the time he finally broke that streak with a 44-foot birdie bomb on the par-3 17th, the crowd at Innisbrook Resort nearly lost its mind. It left Woods one shot off the lead heading to the final hole, where he came up short with a 38-foot birdie putt that would have forced a playoff. While his irons were not as crisp as the first three rounds, Woods downfall came on the greens. He seemingly failed to make any putt of consequence until the 17th hole, as birdie tries from inside 15 feet on Nos. 5, 7 and 8 slid by while Casey, Reed and others started piling on birdies. After the round, Woods explained that he struggled throughout the afternoon with yardages that left him in between clubs and made it difficult to go after tucked pins. I just didnt feel that sharp with my iron game, he said.

Of all the chances he might want back, a sticking point is likely the par-5 14th. Running out of viable birdie opportunities, Woods got to the edge of the green with a mighty driver and long iron only to leave his 80-foot eagle try well short. It led to what amounted to a three-putt and his most disappointing par of the day. Woods stat line in the final round: 8 of 13 fairways, 14 of 18 greens in regulation, 32 putts. It was the first time all week he needed more than 28 putts in a round. It wasnt a win, but Woods finish is by far his best result since 2014. Its also one that should move him inside the top 150 of the next world rankings. Woods will have a couple days to rest, then hell be back at it next week as he makes his first start at the Arnold Palmer Invitational since he won it back in 2013. There was a lot to like in his Valspar tournament debut, and theres plenty of reasons to expect even bigger and better things at Bay Hill.

A couple of those former Nike staffers, Johnny Vegas and Nick Watney (who shot 59 the first time he put the JPX 900 in the bag) signed deals with Mizuno, but many chose - and still choose - to put Mizuno irons in play without compensation. In fact, since Nike's exit, weekly use of Mizuno irons on the PGA Tour has nearly doubled.

It was the greatest Sunday back nine in major history IMO. If Jack was playing now I think Tiger would just shade him as the best player in the world, but it would definitely be a serious rivalry and Jack would beat him down the stretch more often than Phil, Ernie, Vijay, Goosen, and whoever else is in the so called 'big five', combined.

But things got off to an oddly slow start for Fowler and much of the field Sunday. Fowler failed to make a birdie on the front nine as he fought his swing. He was able to get up and down from the cart path to save par at the par-5 third hole, but a double bogey at No. 5 brought him back to the field a little.
