Tiger makes Sunday charge with five birdies on front nine of final round at the Memorial

In his iconic Sunday red and black, Tiger Woods came charging out of the gates during the final round of the Memorial Tournament with five birdies on the front nine.

After settling for par at the first hole, Woods’ charge officially began when he sunk back-to-back birdies at the second and third holes. It moved him to two-under on the day and six-under for the tournament. However, Tiger was still nine shots back.
