Tiger Woods falls just short of victory in British Open final round

Still, Tiger was in contention until the very end and looked like the Tiger of old on several occasions. Here are some highlights and analysis from his final round at Carnoustie.

Hole 11

• Yikes. Tiger double bogeys 11. The good news - he's still only one shot off the lead, but he's no longer in the driver's seat.

Hole 12

Two-putt bogey at 12. Now two shots off the lead. #TheOpen

Hole 17:

• Tiger hasn't been able to make up ground on the last few holes but this iron on 17 was a thing of beauty:

Hole 18:

• Barely missed a putt for birdie. Doesn't look like Tiger is going to take the Claret Jug, but an impressive performance nonetheless.
