Woods: I don’t deserve Ryder pick

TIGER WOODS last night suffered his worst tournament finish as a professional in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio – but still held onto his position as world number one.

With Woods finishing joint 78th in the 80-man field after a closing round of 77, Phil Mickelson knew he needed to finish fourth or better to move top of the world rankings.

The US Masters champion was joint 10th overnight and four shots off the lead, but endured a nightmare front nine of 41 to end his chances of ending Woods’ five-year reign.
