DUBLIN, Ohio – A spectacular chip-in at the 16th hole on Sunday provided Tiger Woods with the edge he needed to win the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance for the fifth time in his career.

The legendary Jack Nicklaus, who hosts the tournament, told Woods the shot was the "best I've ever seen here." The former world No. 1 wasn't done yet, though, as Woods made a 9-footer for birdie at the 18th hole to seal the win.

Woods closed with a 67 that tied for the low round of the day and lifted him to 9 under for the tournament. He birdied three of his last four holes to hold off Rory Sabbatini and Andres Romero by two strokes.

"I hit it good today," Woods told CBS announcer Peter Kostis after the round. "That was some good stuff out there today. I never really missed a shot today. As Sean (Foley, his swing coach) likes to say -- go out and put on a stripe show today."

The victory was the 73rd of Woods' career and ties him with Nicklaus for second all-time. Only Sam Snead has more with 82. Woods is 10 years younger than Nicklaus was when he won his 73rd at the 1986 Masters.

"It's been pretty nice," Woods said. "A nice run since I turned pro. To do it at age 36 is not too shabby. A am proud of what I've done so far. I feel like I've got lots of good years left."

Woods will resume his pursuit of Nicklaus' record 18 majors in another week at the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club as one of three two-time winners on the PGA TOUR in 2012.

3:22 p.m. – Tiger Woods heads to the back nine at 7 under after two-putting the ninth hole from 35 feet for par. His playing partner, Rickie Fowler, only made two pars on the front nine and shot 40 so he’s just 1 under for the tournament.

Woods now owns third alone at 5 under, four back, while Fowler has dropped into a big tie at 3 under.

1:47 p.m. – Tiger Woods just got his first birdie, sinking a 7-footer after backing off once as the wind whipped across the green.

12:45 p.m. – There are a lot more red numbers on the leaderboards at Muirfield Village right now than at this time on Saturday. Stewart Cink, for example, has birdied three of his first five holes to move from 1 over for the tournament to 2 under.

12:30 p.m. – Sunday is a chamber of commerce day in Dublin. The sun’s shining, there’s no threat of rain and the temperature will top out in the upper 70s. Winds gusting toward 30 mph could present a challenge, though, particularly as the afternoon progresses.

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Alabama freshman Justin Thomas was named the NCAA Division I winner of the Jack Nicklaus Award as the nation’s top collegiate golfer on Sunday.

Thomas won his first college tournament earlier this year and went on to take three more titles. Thomas, who is from Goshen, Ky., previously won the Phil Mickelson Award as the nation's top freshman and was named a first-team All-American.

Ben Taylor was the Division II recipient after the Englishman won twice, finished second four times and led Nova Southeastern to its first national crown. Noah Ratner of Guilford College in Greensboro, N.C., received the Division III award after winning four times and earning first-team All-America honors for the second straight year.

Texas Wesleyan's Nathan Anderson was the NAIA Jack Nicklaus Award winner after capturing first-team All-America honors for the second straight year. Jimmy Kozikowski of South Mountain Community College won the NAJCAA after winning twice and finishing 10th or better in all 12 events he played this year.

The Jack Nicklaus Award is given annually by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Raymond Floyd will be honored at the 2013 Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance.

Floyd joins an eclectic list of Memorial Tournament honorees that includes this year’s inductee, Tom Watson, as well as Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Judy Bell, Andy North, Presidents George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford, Tony Jacklin and Sean Connery, among others.

Floyd won three of the four major championships, and a total of four -- missing out only on the British Open. The closest he came to adding the Claret Jug to his trophy case was in 1978 where he finished second to Jack Nicklaus. Floyd’s final major championship title came in 1986 when he beat Lanny Wadkins and Chip Beck at Shinnecock Hills – at the age of 44.

Floyd, who was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989, won 22 PGA TOUR titles -- in four different decades -- and 14 more times on the Champions Tour. In 1992 he became the first player to win on both Tours.

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Rickie Fowler was one of the few players able to climb the leaderboard on a windy Saturday at the Memorial Tournament.

The red-hot 23-year-old, who has finished in the top 10 of his last four tournaments, birdied two of his final four holes to move into sole possession of third entering the final round at Muirfield Village. Fowler is three strokes behind Spencer Levin and will play in the penultimate group with Tiger Woods on Sunday.

Fowler posted a round of 69 in the blustery conditions on Saturday that tied Vijay Singh and the leader, Spencer Levin, for the low round of the day. He hit 10 of 14 fairways, 12 of 18 greens in regulation and used just 26 putts -- including a 6-footer for birdie at the par-5 15th and a 17-footer for another at the 17th hole.

"Felt nice coming in," said Fowler. "Nice to get a few birdies coming in."

Fowler, who picked up his breakthrough win at the Wells Fargo Championship last month, is playing in his third Memorial Tournament. He has a pretty good track record, too, finishing second to Justin Rose in his debut and tying for 22nd last year. Six of his 11 rounds at Muirfield Village have been in the 60s, too.

"I've hit a lot of good shots around here, so I've probably at least birdied every hole or had good shots on all holes out here," Fowler said. "So definitely able to go into every hole out here comfortable and knowing that we've played it well and hit some good shots there. Looking forward to tomorrow ...  Anywhere being around the lead on Sunday is good around here."

Fowler said the wind dried to course out as the day progressed and he expects conditions on Sunday that were similar to the first round when he shot 71. Conditions should still be breezy, with the wind gusting toward 30 mph, but Fowler enjoys that challenge.

"I love playing in the wind," he said. "I wouldn't mind it being like this tomorrow. No, I enjoy it. You've got to hit good golf shots and got to hit the ball solidly. I played well today, hit a few squirrelly shots, but other than that we kept it in play and made a few good swings coming in, made a couple birdies, so put ourselves in a good spot for tomorrow."

Fowler beat Rory McIlroy and D.A. Points in a playoff at Quail Hollow four weeks ago, and he has finished fifth or better in his two starts since that victory. He's pleased with the way he's been hitting the ball right now and expects more of the same on Sunday.

"If you went out and played really well, there's still a low number out there," Fowler said. "It's not easy to go low. Someone that's in the lead is going to have a tough time pulling away.  I wouldn't say five or six is too far back, but obviously three or four is kind of a good place to be.

"...  I've been swinging really well, so that's obviously helped me stay very calm and collected out there. Very confident with my game and where I'm at mentally, so get ourselves in a good position for tomorrow being a few back, go out and have some fun and see what we can do."

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Tiger Woods wasn't feeling quite up to par -- and not just because of that 39 he shot on the final nine holes Saturday at Muirfield Village.

He said earlier in the week that his allergies were acting up, and after the third round of the Memorial Tournament Woods indicated he might have a touch of the flu. Yet, Woods still finds himself in the hunt for his fifth Memorial Tournament victory despite a third-round 73 which marked just his second over-par score in his last 24 rounds at Muirfield Village.

"I've been better," Woods said as he met with reporters outside the clubhouse on an unseasonably chilly afternoon. "I was blowing my nose an awful lot in the towel, so I don't think Joey (LaCava, his caddy) is real happy about that. But overall it is what it is. You've just got to go out there and deal with it.  I was focused and patient all day, so can't complain on that."

Woods was also tied for the lead throughout much of the front nine. After those four bogeys on the back nine, though, he ended the day owning solo fourth at 4 under, four strokes off the pace being set by Spencer Levin. Woods will play with Rickie Fowler in Sunday's penultimate group as the two seek their second wins of the 2012 season.

"I certainly probably shot the highest score I could have shot today considering the way I hit it," Woods said. "But I'm only four back, and out here with the conditions, supposed to be like this tomorrow again, anything can happen."

Woods started Saturday on a solid note, rolling in a 21-footer on the first hole -- his first birdie there since the first round of the 2000 tournament. His putter wasn't very cooperative the rest of the round, though, and Woods ended up using 32 strokes with the flat stick.

"I had a difficult time adjusting to the pace today," said Woods, no doubt cognizant of the way the wind had dried out greens dampened by Friday night's downpour. "I know they're ... faster than what they were yesterday. But they just didn't look that fast, and I ran a couple putts by, also left a few short. And also I was trying to stay steady in this wind, which is a task in itself, too. I did the best I could today."

Woods' putter may have not have been very obedient, particularly on the back nine where he had 18 putts, but tee to green he was solid. He's leading the field in greens in regulation and has hit over 71 percent of his fairways in the first three rounds.

"The things we've been working on the last few tournaments I'm finally starting to do," Woods said. "This is the way I know I'm capable of hitting the golf ball. The beauty of it is I've been missing the golf ball in the correct spots, and that's when I know I have control of my game is that you're not going to hit every shot perfect, but at least I miss it on the correct sides."

The par 5s remain a bit problematic, though. After going for the green on all four par 5s in the first round and playing them 3 under, Woods has laid up on seven in the last two rounds, making just two birdies.

"A couple of par 5s are just not the right wind for me," Woods explained, citing Nos. 5 and 11 and then talking about how long the 15th played on Saturday. "Some of the shorter guys won't be able to carry the creek on the left if they pull it. I haven't ever seen it play that long.  But it is important to get it down there and give yourself a run at some of these par 5s because there's very few birdie holes out there."

So what is Woods' target score for Sunday? He will be looking for his first come-from-behind victory since the 2009 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. He's had to make up ground in two of his four Memorial Tournament wins, as well.

"I don't know," Woods said. "The winning score may not change from what it's at right now, or it may go higher, may go lower. We don't know. That's the hard part about this golf course is there's so many demanding holes that anything can happen."

By Fred Albers, PGATOUR.COM Correspondent Tough finish: The 18th hole has been 442 yards of torture for players this week. It ranks as the second-hardest hole on the golf course and gave a brutal demonstration of difficulty to Camilo Villegas on Saturday. With the hole cut just nine paces onto the right side of the green, players kept spinning the ball off the false front and back down into the fairway. For Villegas, it turned into "groundhog day." He would spin it off the green, then hit it long and chip it back over the green again. It wound up as a 10 for Villegas with a score of 47 on his inward nine. Tiger fever: What started as allergies for Tiger Woods has developed into a sinus problem. He ran a fever on Friday night and was visibly sick during Saturday's round. Woods took several breaks while warming up on the driving range and would sit down when given a chance on tee boxes. Tiger battled through the illness but his putter looked equally fatigued. Woods made no putts longer than 4 feet, 8 inches and had a total of 40 feet, 9 inches worth of putts for the entire round. Spencer on fire: Spencer Levin continues to have short game magic. He has taken a total of 73 putts for 54 holes -- the lowest of any player. Levin eliminated the putter altogether on two holes during Saturday's round. He chipped in for eagle at the fifth hole and then chipped in for birdie at the 10th. Souvenir: Rory Sabbatini's approach into the fifth hole sailed a little long and hit a man square in the chest. The fan wasn't injured and when Sabbatini chipped onto the green then made his birdie putt, he walked over to the man and gave him the souvenir golf ball fresh out of the cup. Surprise: Levin had already conceded the miss. He pulled his par putt on the eighth hole and was going to make bogey. Fortunately the cup was kind. The ball rolled to the hole, did a complete 360 and toppled into cup. Levin looked shocked. Like a burglar, Levin strolled to the cup and snatched the ball away then left the scene of the crime with a look of amazement on his face.

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Spencer Levin gets his chance at redemption on Sunday at the Memorial Tournament.

This time, though, he only leads Rory Sabbatini by one stroke at 8 under. In February at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Levin took a six-stroke lead into the final round only to shoot 75 and finish third.

Levin earned another opportunity to pick up his first PGA TOUR victory when he chipped in twice and fired a 69 on a windswept Saturday at Muirfield Village that tied for the low round of a difficult day. Sabbatini shot 71 while Rickie Fowler, who has finished fifth or better in his last three starts, is three strokes back at 5 under after matching Levin's 69.

Oh, and don't forget Tiger Woods, the four-time Memorial champion. He ran into trouble on the back nine Saturday, making four bogeys on the way to a 73, but is lurking at 4 under.

"I don't know if I could have done much better," Levin said. "I had some really good breaks, so I'll take it.  I played pretty solid, but it's nice to have a couple good breaks. But if you're going to shoot the low round of the day out here on the TOUR, or any day, you're going to have a couple good breaks or make long putts or chip in generally."

Woods was tied for the lead early in his round after making a 21-footer for birdie on the first hole. He had not made birdie on that par 4 since the first round of the 2000 tournament. Woods went on to make the turn in 34 but stumbled on the homeward stretch with a 39.

The 73 was just Woods’ second round over par in his last 24 trips around Muirfield Village.

"I certainly probably shot the highest score I could have shot today considering the way I hit it," Woods said. "But I'm only four back, and out here with the conditions, supposed to be like this tomorrow again, anything can happen."

5:41 p.m. -- Spencer Levin made par the hard way at the 16th hole. First, there was a whirlybird of a swing that launched his tee shot into a gaping fairway bunker.

2:32 p.m. – Matt Every, who is playing in his first Memorial, just made a 10-footer at the 13th hole to move to 4 under for the day and the tournament. He bogeyed his first hole but ended up turning in 33 after making five birdies, two bogeys and two pars.

2:21 p.m. – Jim Furyk just holed a shot from 86 yards for an eagle at the fifth hole. Furyk, who is now back to 4 under for the tournament, has had an eventful start – going birdie-bogey-double bogey-par before making the eagle.

2:03 p.m. – Consecutive birdies at the sixth and seventh holes have boosted Erik Compton into a tie for fifth, two strokes off the pace. Compton’s second heart transplant came from a man who lived in Columbus, so he has a special affinity for the area.

1:53 p.m. – Spencer Levin just drained a 33-footer at the second hole to join Tiger Woods at 6 under. His playing partner, Rory Sabbatini, added a 14-footer of his own to rejoin the group at the top after failing to save par from the greenside bunker at No. 1.

1:30 p.m. – Tiger Woods had not birdied the first hole at Muirfield Village since the first round of his 2000 victory. After holing Saturday’s 22-footer, he’s now done it two days in a row and is tied for the lead at 6 under.

1:25 p.m. – Jim Furyk, who won the Memorial in 2002, got off to a solid start with a 7-footer for birdie at the first hole. He’s now tied with Spencer Levin, Scott Stallings and Tiger Woods at 5 under, one shot behind Rory Sabbatini.

1:01 p.m. – Camilo Villegas will probably have nightmares of the 18th hole on Saturday night after making a 10 there on the way to an 82. There were no penalty shots involved, either.

Villegas hit his drive into a cluster of fairway bunkers, his second shot in the rough and his third back into the fairway -- then took seven shots to get the ball in the hole from 68 yards in front of the green. He chipped four times in front of the green, twice finding the same greenside bunker before finally holing out.

12:43 p.m. – Brandt Snedeker withdrew prior to the start of his third round due to a rib injury.

12:30 p.m. – Friday’s clouds and rain have given way to abundant sunshine and partly cloudy skies with a high temperature of 70. There’s a low pressure system circulating over the Great Lakes, though, that could produce some late afternoon showers.
