DUBLIN (AP) — The fast greens were to Jon Rahm’s liking Saturday as he took over the Memorial lead at Muirfield Village.
Rahm began play one shot back before carding a 68, while previous co-leaders Ryan Palmer and Tony Finau shot 73.
Rahm now enjoys a four-shot edge heading into Sunday’s final round.
He has 18 holes left for a chance to join Seve Ballesteros as the only Spaniards to reach No. in the world.
He took control with four straight birdies on the back nine when Finau made double bogey on two holes and Palmer made two late bogeys,
before Rahm closed with consecutive pars.
Danny Willett is alone in fourth place, six shots back and one ahead of Jason Day and Henrik Norlander.
Tiger Woods shot a 71 after barely making Friday’s cut. He’s 10 strokes back.
