Crazier things have happened, but Tiger Woods' five-year major championship drought will almost certainly continue after Round 3 action at the 2013 U.S. Open on Saturday.

The world's top-ranked golfer, who has been dealing with left elbow inflammation all week, finally succumbed to the wills of Merion Golf Club's vaunted East Course in his third round. Struggling throughout the day with nearly every facet of his game, Tiger shot a six-over 76 to take himself almost completely out of contention at the Ardmore, Pa. course.

Heading into the clubhouse, Woods was nine shots behind Charl Schwartzel and Luke Donald, who were still finishing the day when Tiger's day was done.

Here is a look at how the remainder of the U.S. Open leaderboard stands, with players still wrapping up their day on the course:



A test of wills throughout the week, Woods' struggles with his elbow injury gave many memories of his last major championship—the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. It was at the hallowed San Diego course that Tiger defeated Rocco Mediate in a captivating playoff, one that saw Woods play despite having an obviously ailing knee.

Woods would eventually need season-ending ACL surgery after the U.S. Open to repair the condition, and his triumph at Torrey Pines has largely been seen among the greatest of his career. 



There will almost certainly be no such triumph this week. While less demonstrative in his displays of pain than in his first two rounds—though they were still prevalent—Woods' game fell off a cliff on Saturday. He shot seven bogeys against only one birdie en route to all but cementing himself out of reasonable contention.

Here is a look at Woods' scorecard from Round 3 for reference of how it all played out. Note that birdies are bolded and italicized, while bogeys are merely bolded:
