Former world number one Tiger Woods suffered his worst professional round with a 13-over-par 85 on day three of the Memorial Tournament in Ohio. Woods, 39, now ranked 172, had made the cut by one shot but had consecutive double bogeys, six bogeys and finished with a quadruple bogey eight. It left the 14-time major winner in last place on 12 over for the event, which he has won five times. It also eclipsed his previous worst, an 82 at the Phoenix Open in January.Woods has spent a record 683 combined weeks as world number one and was still top of the rankings as recently as May last year.
Yesterday's round at Muirfield Village, a course at which he has triumphed on eight occasions, was only his third in the 80s. The American found the water four times and was 24 shots behind leader David Lingmerth of Sweden, who had yet to begin his round.Needing a par at the last to avoid his worst professional round, Woods drove into the water, saw a chip for his fourth shot roll back further away than when he started and his fifth was miscued into a greenside bunker.
