Tiger Woods: Golf fans SLAM star after incredible Memorial Tournament recovery
TIGER WOODS has been slammed by golf fans after snubbing adoring supporters during Saturday's Memorial Tournament.
The American was 4-over through seven holes on Thursday in round one of the event and all hope seemed lost.
However, Woods shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday in round three to back up his 5-under 67 on Friday.
But two late bogeys mean the former world No 1 will not hold the lead going into the final day at Muirfield Village.
And Woods, who is now 9-under for the week, has been slammed by golf fans for his actions after the finishing up for the day.
After three-putting the 18th, the 42-year-old ignored waiting fans who were asking for autographs or simple high-fives from the sporting icon.

And golf fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration.
One wrote: "How about high-fiving some of those kids, fans after that round TIGER...like Phil [Mickleson] does!"
And one said: "Just noticed Tiger Woods walking off the course and ignoring all the fans, just because he missed a putt on the last hole. Needs to understand who pays his wages."

While one angrily tweeted: "Good old @TigerWoods - missing a simple short putt on 18 and completely ignoring the masses of fans trying to low 5 him. Poor show I’m afraid."
And another wrote: "You did pretty good today up until you dissed all the fans who just wanted to get a little high five on your way back to the club house."
Woods is four shots off the lead heading into Sunday's action.
