Tiger Woods struggles to career-worst 85 at Memorial
Tiger Woods reached a career-worst on Moving Day at the Memorial, shooting a 13-over 85, for his highest round as a professional.
Woods saved his worst for last, finishing with a quadruple bogey on 18.
Through 18 holes on Saturday, Woods dropped six bogeys, two double bogeys, and of course the disaster on 18.
He hit the water four times and dropped a single birdie.
Although he played horrendously, it was much of the same as the first two rounds at the Memorial, as he struggled off the tee box adjusting to his new swing. The difference was this time Woods was unable to make up for the problems with his short game.
In light of the performance, Woods decided not to speak to the media.

PGA tour rookie Zac Blair was a big fan of Woods growing up, and got paired with him on Saturday. He was 15-strokes better than his former idol, shooting 2-under 70.
Woods will now likely play Sunday's final round alone, unless he requests a marker.
