Charlotte - Tiger Woods's poor performance at the Quail Hollow Championship caught many by surprise, but not Geoff Ogilvy.
When Woods finished equal fourth in his return to competition at last month's Masters, many assumed he was back in business after taking nearly five months off to tend to his personal problems.
Ogilvy, however, wasn't impressed with what he saw at Augusta, and therefore was not shocked that Woods missed the cut at Quail Hollow on Friday.
According to the Australian, Quail Hollow is a lot more demanding course off the tee than Augusta National and therefore more likely to expose a player's weakness with the driver.
"You can't hide on this course," said the 2006 US Open champion. "Off the tee a little bit you can (hide at Augusta National). It's also a place he's had lots of success at.
"This is a harder course to play poor and get away with it, because it's narrow off the tee and in the rough it's hard. I assume he's missed a lot of fairways.
"I didn't think he looked like he was playing very well at Augusta. I think his game is poor, even before this week.
"After Augusta, I thought he was a long way from his best, but saying that, he won four or five times in the last two-thirds of last year and I didn't think his game was at his best either."
Ogilvy was speaking after Woods shot a second round 79 to post a nine-over 153 total, missing the cut by eight strokes.
It was just the sixth time in his professional career that he was eliminated after 36 holes.
The early exit came in Woods' second tournament - and first with public ticket sales - since he was engulfed in a sex scandal that has jeopardised his marriage, cost him sponsors and tarnished his personal reputation.
