Tiger Woods on shooting 85: ‘I didn’t want to have anyone watch me play’

Bob Harig ESPN Senior Writer Close Senior golf writer for ESPN.com Covered golf for more than 20 years Earned Evans Scholarship to attend Indiana University DUBLIN, Ohio — Tiger Woods is back at Muirfield Village Golf Club, where he’s made plenty of history, most notably five victories at the course and tournament Jack Nicklaus founded. But it’s also where he shot his highest score as a pro, an 85, during the third round of the 2015 Memorial, which was his last visit to the tournament. The score led to an early-morning Sunday tee time — alone. “I didn’t want to have anyone watch me play the way I was playing,” Woods said Wednesday. The 85 included a career-first of 40 or worse for both nines.
