DUBLIN, Ohio -- In the swirling, gusting winds at the Memorial Tournament, Tiger Woods had what even he termed a rough day. Woods posted his highest nine-hole score as a professional when he shot an 8-over 44 on the back nine during Saturdays third round of the Memorial Tournament. Woods walked past reporters after his round and declined interview requests. He spoke later to a PGA Tour official. "The conditions were tough and when I missed it cost me," he said after completing a 7-over 79 that had him plummeting down the scoreboard at Muirfield Village, where he has won a record five times. "I caught the wrong gusts at the wrong time, made a couple bad swings and all in all it just went the wrong way." His previous worst nine-hole score was a 43 on three occasions, most recently at Quail Hollow in 2010. He certainly wasnt alone. Playing partner Zach Johnson shot an 81. "It was hard," said Johnson, who declined to discuss Woods or his play. "It was very hard today. There was a lot of wind." The third member of the group, Jim Furyk, shot a 69 that was among the best scores of the day on a course that is difficult even when conditions are calm and quiet. Asked if it was stunning when a player as good as Woods shoots such a high score, Furyk said, "Yeah, it is. He didnt hit that many bad golf shots but he got away with none of them, if that makes sense." Woods had earlier rounds of 71 and 74 and now stands at 8-over 224 and near the bottom in the 73-player field. The 79 was his highest score by three shots at the Memorial, where he won 1999-2001, 2009 and 2012. The 79 was his worst round since shooting a 79 in the second round at Quail Hollow in 2010 and matches the second-worst score hes had as a pro. His only worst 18-hole score is a third-round 81 at the 2002 British Open at Muirfield. Things started getting away from him on his third hole, the signature 12th. His iron shot into the par-3 cleared a large lake but left him with a bad stance in the front bunker. He had to hit to the left side of the green -- away from the pin -- just to get out of the sand. From there he three-putted for a double bogey. At the 15th, for the second day in a row Woods hit into the fairway but then nailed his second shot into the deep rough on a slope left of the green. He hit sideways to avoid a tree but came up short of the green, then chopped out of the thick stuff with the ball running downhill through the green into the first cut. Again he followed with a three-putt for a double-bogey. "We didnt hit that many bad shots starting out the day and the next thing you know we were quite a few over par," Woods said. "It was a rough day. It was tough out there from beginning to end." After failing to get up and down from just off the green to the left of the 17th hole, everything unraveled at the difficult par-4 18th. Woods drive was down the middle of the fairway, but his second shot was well short and rolled back to a collection area in front. He spun a sand wedge shot that landed short of the pin and then spun back, rolling toward him and ending up even farther away from the pin than he was after the previous shot. He finally chipped to 5 feet above the hole on the steeply-slanted green, then rolled his next putt down the hill and 7 feet past and missed the comebacker to settle for the triple-bogey. "The third shot was pretty incredible, to hit it that short and have it spin that much," Furyk said. "I was up on the green, I watched it go up, spin -- it was spinning like a top -- and then came back. It had a lot of juice on it. "He just kind of had things snowball on him and then the putter on the first side we played let him down and that added a bunch of shots as well." Woods birdied three of the first five holes on the front nine but had bogeys at No. 6 and 9 for his 79. "Its just one of those things where Im sure Im not the only one who struggled out there," he said. "I tried to fight back on the back nine but it just didnt quite materialize."

DAVIE, Fla. -- The rookie roommates are ready to receive.Wideouts Leonte Carroo and Jakeem Grant expect to see plenty of duty in the Miami Dolphins exhibition finale Thursday against Tennessee, and theyre eager to show what they can do.We cant wait to watch each others success Thursday, Carroo said.Starters Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker are nursing injuries but might have sat out anyway, because coaches use the last preseason game mostly to evaluate the back end of the roster.That includes such youngsters as Carroo and Grant, who bunked together during training camp while competing for playing time. Both are sure to make the team, but eager to climb higher on the depth chart.Carroo, a third-round draft pick from Rutgers, has yet to make much of a splash during the preseason. Grant, a sixth-round choice from Texas Tech, has been more eye-catching, in part because hes just 5-foot-6 -- apparently even shorter than he looks on TV.On the field a lot of people tell me, `I didnt know you were that small, Grant said. In my heart, Im just as big as anybody else, and I dont think its a disadvantage at all. I think its more of an advantage to me. Theyre not used to tackling smaller guys like me.Carroo, by contrast, is 6-1 and 217 pounds.Im a physical receiver who is going to make the tough catches, Carroo said, a guy who likes to catch a lot of passes and score a lot of touchdowns.The two rookies will likely play most of the game while paired with reserve quarterbacks Zac Dysert and Brandon Doughty, both battling to make the roster as a third-stringer. Rookie running back Kenyan Drake is also slated for significant action after missing the first three exhibition games because of a hamstring injury.Coach Adam Gase said he wants to see Carroo and Grant in the right spot at thhe right time.ddddddddddddBoth of those guys have had mistakes where the quarterback thinks theyre going to do one thing, and they do something different, Gase said. Wed like for them to be as sound as possible.With limited action in the first three exhibition games, Grant had five receptions for 73 yards, and Carroo had four for 23.This is something Ive been looking forward to in training camp -- to play a whole game and showcase what I can bring to this offense, Carroo said.The receiving group took a double whammy Monday when Stills and Parker left practice with injuries. Stills back locked up, and Parker has been slowed by a sore hamstring, but both took part in Tuesdays walkthrough. Guard Laremy Tunsil also was back after leaving Mondays practice with a foot injury.For the rookies, the injuries were a reminder second-stringers are always on standby.Im sorry my teammates went down, Grant said, but we shouldnt have a drop-off just because theyre out.Grants always trying to win a job returning punts and kickoffs. He ran back kickoffs in college, but never fielded punts until he joined the Dolphins and admitted to jitters in the first preseason game.I think all the jitters are out, he said. No bad moments go through my head. Kickoff returns, I feel great. Its kind of the same as college -- you dont want to spend too much time dancing. Go north and take it to the house.Always sound advice, for returners, pass-catchers, rookies and veterans alike.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
