Golf: Woods shoots 85 for worst round of career

Tiger Woods carded the worst round of his career today, closing with a quadruple bogey eight on 18 for an 85 at the Memorial tournament.
The 14-time major champion ended his dismal front nine with back-to-back double bogeys before his game completely fell apart on the back nine, getting him to 13 over par on the day.
He finished three rounds at 12-over 228 and will likely tee off by himself in today morning's final round.
Woods needed a par on 18 to avert carding his worst round as a pro. His tee shot found the water and then he bungled two chip shots for an eight.

With the round still in progress, he was eight shots behind the next-worst score on the leaderboard.
Asked by PGA Tour officials if he was willing to give interviews Woods gave a one-word reply, "Nope".

It was the second time this year that Woods has shot his career-worst PGA Tour round. His 82 at the Phoenix Open was his prior worst, and helped prompt him to step away from competition for nine weeks to work on his game.
It's just the third time in his pro career that he's shot in the 80s. He shot 81 in the third round of the British Open at Muirfield in horrible weather conditions.

The Memorial, the Jack Nicklaus-hosted event that Woods has won five times, is just his fifth tournament of the season, and his struggles at Muirfield Village come with the US Open just a fortnight away.
Woods, chasing Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles, hasn't won a major since the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines. He hasn't won a tournament since 2013, plunging to 172nd in the world.
