Tiger Woods hits his third shot on the 14th hole during the third round of The Memorial Tournament on June 6, 2015 in Dublin, Ohio

Dublin (United States) (AFP) - Tiger Woods' staggeringly bad day stole the spotlight Saturday at the Memorial, leaving England's Justin Rose to seize the tournament lead in relative obscurity.

Rose signed for a six-under par 66 that gave him a 15-under total of 201 and a three-shot lead over Italy's Francesco Molinari and Sweden's David Lingmerth.

But Woods's career-worst 85, 13 over par, was the topic of conversation as tournament host Jack Nicklaus reflected on the round.
