NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — When it was over — after the daylong deluge and the delayed final round, the lead changes and the late charges — Tiger Woods walked off the 18th green at the BMW Championship knowing he was an also-ran in another race. Woods shot a 65 on Monday, for a cumulative score of 17 under par, three shots behind Keegan Bradley, who beat Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff. Instead of a victory, it was another stroll straight to the clubhouse for Woods, who finished tied for sixth place. Relentless as the rain, Bradley accomplished what Woods could not, staving off Rose, the new No. “Geez,” he said, “things really have changed here over the last day.”For Woods, a winner of 14 majors who has undergone spinal fusion surgery, progress was marked differently.
