DUBLIN, Ohio – After making the cut on the number, Tiger Woods shot a 1-under 71 Saturday at the Memorial. Here are some thoughts from a fine-but-not-fantastic third round at Muirfield Village:
• It was clear right away that this wasn’t the ailing Tiger we’d seen a day ago. On the range, he swung freely and chatted easily with some of his peers. There weren’t any lazy one-handed swings or moves in which he couldn’t turn or clear. Afterward, he said as much: “I felt good today.” In that sense, progress. But his back remains a day-to-day proposition.
