(CNN) -- Tiger Woods was forced to apologize to three members of the public gallery at the Muirfield Village course after hitting them with errant shots.
The world number one handed each person a signed glove by way of apology as he battles to recapture his best form.
Woods finished on six-under in the Memorial Tournament, 12 shots behind winner Justin Rose, from England, who shot a final round 66 bagged his first ever win in the United States.
After his final round Woods was asked in a press conference if he was running low on gloves. He replied: "No kidding, huh. I kept getting everybody out there today. No, but thank God I get them [gloves] for free".
He admitted his form is still patchy but that he was heading in the right direction: "I have to take it step by step. It's a process. I hit shots this week I hadn't hit in a long time and got four rounds in.
