Tiger Woods equals worst nine-hole score of his career at Phoenix Open

Former world number one Tiger Woods has equalled his worst nine-hole score of his career on the PGA Tour during the second round of the Phoenix Open.

The 39-year-old, who is competing in his first event in 2015, shot 44 on the back nine with 10-over-par to fall to tied-last with Michael Hopper.

Woods, who had nine holes remaining at this stage, hit a double bogey on the 14th and a triple bogey on the par-five following hole.

The American pro suffered the same score on this course two years ago.
