BY TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — All around him on a windy summer day on the links of Carnoustie, the leaders were imploding as Tiger Woods moved into the lead at the turn. It felt like old times at the British Open, as familiar as his Sunday red shirt and the swarm of fans that cheered his every shot. Then Woods imploded, too, and there's something that's become increas- ingly familiar about that. If this was the Woods of 15 years ago, he likely would be "the champion golfer of the year," as they say over here, and have his name on the claret jug a fourth time. The fans felt this could be the cul- mination of the comeback. Twitter told late-rising Americans to get to their screens, and fans at church services checked the scores from Scotland in- credulously. But what felt like old times for a brief moment ended up as just another col- lapse story, like the ones Woods' fans THE ASSOCIATED PRESS have seen more recently.
