Struggling with what to buy Dad this Father's Day? If he's a golfer who loves new toys, gadgets and gizmos, you have plenty of options. Anything that promises to improve his game — or make his life simpler on the course — is worth exploring. Fashion — with the advent of fitness in the Tiger Woods era — has become an important aspect of golf as well. The bright colors worn by Ian Poulter, Rickie Fowler and John Daly pop on the TV screen and have inspired a legion of sartorial followers. If Dad can’t play like the pros, at least he can dress like them.

On Saturday at the Memorial, Tiger Woods got an unwelcome taste of what golf feels like out here in the real world. Woods limped to an outward 44, his highest 9-hole score as a professional, on his way to a shocking third-round 79. After failing to break 70 in any of the four rounds, the World's No. 1 player finished at 8-over, 20 strokes behind winner Matt Kuchar. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy wasn't much better, carding a first-round 78 on his way to a 6-over finish. While the world's top two players were hacking up Jack Nicklaus' gorgeous Muirfield Village layout like the Three Stooges, Kuchar was his usual steady, unflappable self, finishing at 12-under after a final-round 68 and holding off Kevin Chappell for a two-shot win that vaults him past Brandt Snedeker into second place on the FedExCup points list and puts him on the short list of U.S. Open favorites.

Here are 10 amazing stats from a tough weekend in Ohio.

44 Woods opening-9 44 on Saturday included a bogey, two doubles and a triple.

35 Kuchar leads the PGA Tour with 35 top-10 finishes since the start of the 2012 season.

10-1 On Sunday, the toughest hole was the par-3 12th, as it yielded only three birdies but forced 30 bogeys or higher, a ratio of 10-1.

20 Woods' final deficit of 20 strokes was his largest in a full-field event as a professional. He was 30 shots in arrears at the WGC Bridgestone (a limited field, no-cut event) in 2010.

71 Woods, who entered the Memorial ranked first in Strokes Gained, Putting, ranked 71st of 73 players in the category for the tournament.

2 Shockingly, Woods had two three-putts from inside five feet.

5th Woods finished fifth in driving accuracy for the weekend but still finished 20 strokes behind Kuchar, an indication of a rough week of ballstriking (he missed at least five greens each day) and putting (he needed 119 putts for the week).

+1.256 The average round this weekend was 73.256, or 1.256 over par, making Muirfield the third-toughest course on Tour so far this year, behind Augusta National and PGA National (Honda Classic).

2 Kuchar becomes only the second multiple winner on Tour this year, joining Woods, who has four wins. Seventeen players have a single win in what has been a true spread-the-wealth kind of year so far.

96.43 Ryan Moore hit a stunning 96.43 percent of his fairways off the tee for the tournament on his way to a T13 finish.

Through last month's Masters, the 37-year-old Tiger Woods has 14 wins in 63 major championship starts as a professional; through the 1977 Masters, the 37-year-old Nicklaus had 14 wins in 61 major championship starts as a professional.
That's some amazing career symmetry right there, but it seems appropriate, given that Tiger came out of the gate with Nicklaus' major championship record as his ultimate target.
For a long time, Woods was well ahead of Nicklaus' career pace, but a drought that is nearing five years in duration has put a serious dent in Tiger's major aspirations. Of course, Nicklaus won his last major at age 46, giving Woods nine more years of viability on the major championship scene, a reasonable assumption considering the similarity of their career trajectories.
Here are the final four majors of Nicklaus' career, all of which came at age 38 and beyond:
1978 British Open (age 38)
1980 U.S. Open (age 40)
1980 PGA Championship (age 40)
1986 Masters (age 46)

Woods turns 46 in December 2021. Between now and then, there will be 36 major championships contested; Woods needs to win five of them to reach his career Holy Grail of 19 major championships.
Of course, Tiger has already moved well past Nicklaus into second on the Tour's all-time wins ledger. Tiger trails only Sam Snead, who won 82 times over a 30-year span; Woods has crammed his 78 wins into 17-plus stellar, occasionally storm-tossed seasons on Tour.
Jack thinks he'll do it. "I still think he'll break my record," Nicklaus said during the Honda Classic. "Tiger's talent, at 37 ... it's not that old. I won four after that. They were spread out. It wasn't that difficult. I don't think for Tiger to get four or five more — or six or seven — is that big a stretch.
"But that said, he has still got to do it. He hasn't won one in five years. He had better get with it if he's going to."

So let's look at the two legends — Tiger today, and Nicklaus at a similar point in his career.
Bottom line from the data presented here: Tiger's building the better overall career, but Jack remains the greatest performer in major championship history. That's the carrot that Tiger is still chasing, and he has time to get there.
