Tiger Woods' third round at the Memorial Championship was far from encouraging, but despite the fact that he shot one over par, he still has a shot to take the tournament with a strong performance on Sunday.

In fact, I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm convinced Woods isn't far removed from putting on a dominant display from week to week. He's right on the cusp of greatness, and knowing his drive for success, he isn't going to be content until he reclaims his spot atop the golfing world.
