Since his encouraging performance at the Masters in April, there
has been hope Tiger Woods would recapture a least a smidgen of
his past glory and possibly win a tournament this year.
Unfortunately for Woods, his performance Saturday during the
third round of the Memorial was arguably the worst of his career.
Woods shot a career-high 85, ending the round with a quadruple-
bogey 8 on the 18th green to fall to the bottom of the
leaderboard at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. He finished
the front nine with consecutive bogeys and, at that early stage,
needed to finish at par in order to avoid the worst professional
round of his career. He finished the round at 13 over.
After signing his card, Woods declined interview requests, but
did sign a few autographs for fans. He did not appear to be
injured during the round.
Everything that could go for wrong for Woods did go wrong. He
had six bogeys, two double-bogeys and his first quadruple bogey.
He hit balls into water hazards four times.
Prior to this week, Muirfield had been kind to Woods during his
career. He has won eight times on the course, which includes
five Memorial wins.
With the U.S. Open two weeks away, Woods' attempt to re-
establish himself as among the world's elite golfers seems to be
in disarray.
