They surrounded the 18th green at Muirfield Village Golf Club, spectators lined several rows deep, the leaders hours away from even teeing off Sunday, let alone getting to the finishing hole of the Memorial Tournament.

And they stood and cheered as Tiger Woods walked off that green having just made another double-bogey, about to sign for his highest 72-hole score as a pro.

Why were they here to take in the man who would finish last?

Better question: why were so many packed around the first tee before 8 a.m. on Sunday to watch a man coming off a career-worst 85 to play a solo round of golf with nothing at stake?

via No matter the score, Tiger Woods still matters to golf after finishing last at the Memorial Tournament.
