DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Bubba Watson put himself in position for his third win of the year Saturday with a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead over Scott Langley at the Memorial Tournament .
Watson has never finished in the top 20 at Muirfield Village. Even with a bogey on the last hole, he had his third straight round in the 60s and was at 12-under 204.
It will be an all-lefty final pairing with Langley, who has gone 40 straight holes without a bogey and had a 67.
The most famous Lefty, Phil Mickelson, had a 72 while coping with reports he is involved in an insider trading investigation.
Hideki Matsuyama of Japan birdied his last hole for a 69 and was two shots behind. Adam Scott was three shots back after a 68.
Mickelson confirms that FBI agents investigating insider trading approached him after a round at the Memorial tournament. He says he is cooperating and has done nothing wrong.
A federal official briefed on the investigation tells The Associated Press that the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commissioner are analyzing trades Mickelson and Las Vegas gambler Billy Walters made involving Clorox at the same time investor Carl Icahn was attempting to take over the company.
The official was unauthorized to speak about the ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Reports of the investigation appeared in several newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal.
Mickelson says he will not talk about details until the investigation is over.
