Jack Nicklaus: "I feel bad for Tiger Woods"

Jack Nicklaus lends his support to Tiger Woods after the 39-year-old posts the worst round of his career at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.

Jack Nicklaus has given his support to Tiger Woods after the struggling former world number one posted a career-worst round of 85 at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.

It is the second time this year that Woods, 39, has posted a career-worst round, and his second score in the 80s in his last 12 outings.

"I'm not only surprised, I feel very bad for him. He has struggled healthwise. He has struggled with his short game earlier in the year," 18-time major champion Nicklaus told CBS.

"He feels like he's coming back and then does this. I don't have an answer for it, an explanation, I'm sure he probably doesn't either.

"He's the only one who really knows what's going on. He's got such a great work ethic, and the game needs you, Tiger."

Woods begins the final round dead last in 71st place, six shots behind 70th-placed Lucas Glover.
