truncated week after he ran up an ugly quadruple-bogey on his
third hole in the first round of the Memorial tournament on

DUBLIN, Ohio — The last time Muirfield Village GC played as firm and fast as it did Thursday in the opening round of the Memorial Tournament, Jim Furyk remembers playing exceptionally but finishing second.
That was in 2009. The winner was Tiger Woods.
“It was scary fast that year,” Furyk said. “These aren’t quite there, but they’re quick. A good score is out there, but you have to play some good golf to get it.”
Woods did just that. The only four-time winner of the Memorial bounced back from a sloppy double-bogey to post a 2-under-par 70 on a sunny and cool morning in central Ohio. It was his lowest opening round of the year since he shot 69 in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, which he won.
