Tiger Woods sees no reason to panic after he once again failed to add to his 14 major titles.
Tiger Woods: Tough going in the majors The world number one was never really at the races at this weekend's US PGA Championship as rounds of 71, 70, 73 and 70 saw him finish 14 shots behind eventual winner Jason Dufner.
He has now gone four years without winning a major as his last success was at the US Open way back in 2008 while Jack Nicklaus' all-time record of 18 is also safe for at least another couple of years.
Despite his lack of success in the majors in recent years, the American feels he has done well this season as he finished fourth at the Masters and sixth at the British Open.
"I was close in the two of them," Woods said of his performances in the majors.
"Certainly had a chance to win the Masters and the British this year. The other two, I just didn't hit it good enough. Just the way it goes.
"Is it concerning? No. I've been in half of them. So that's about right. If you are going to be in three-quarters or half of them with a chance to win on the back nine, you have just got to get it done."
The 37-year-old failed to break par at Oak Hill over the weekend - the 11th time in the last 12 major rounds that he failed to do so.
"It's more frustrating not being in it," Woods said. "Having a chance on the back nine on Sunday, I can live with that.
"Today I'm grinding my tail off coming in just to shoot even par for the day and I'm nowhere in it. That's tough."
He certainly headed into the tournament as one of the favourites after he won the World Golf Championship at Firestone for an eighth time, but it wasn't to be.
"I put four good rounds together last week. Unfortunately it wasn't this week," Woods said.
"Didn't seem to hit it as good and didn't make many putts until the last few holes today. But I didn't give myself many looks and certainly didn't hit the ball good enough to be in it."
