Kuchar, two others in front at Muirfield Village

- STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

DUBLIN, Ohio — A storm system that rolled through Muirfield Village late Saturday only further muddled the outlook at the Memorial.

Emiliano Grillo had the lead, came back from a 2 1/2-hour delay and promptly made double bogey. Matt Kuchar was rolling along after recovering from a freak bounce early in his round only to chop his way to bogey on the final hole.

Kuchar, who shared the 54-hole lead with Gary Woodland and William McGirt, sized up the final round when someone asked what it would take to win.

“Your guess is as good as mine,” he said.

Kuchar rallied from a rough start and wound up with a 2-under-par 70 to join Woodland (69) and McGirt (64) at 14-under 202. Twenty players were separated by four shots.
