PGA TOUR 2022: Memorial Tournament, Muirfield Village CC, Ohio, 2-5 June: Day Three
Billy Horschel goes into Memorial final with a five shot lead (and notches up 44 consecutive holes without a bogey)
From ESPN, by AP:
DUBLIN, Ohio -- The Memorial has another player who appears to be running away with the tournament. Billy Horschel at least gets a chance to finish the job.
One year after Jon Rahm built a six-shot lead - only to be forced to withdraw after the third round because of a positive COVID-19 test - Horschel delivered a gem at Muirfield Village on Saturday with a 7-under 65 for a five-shot lead.
Not only did Horschel make seven birdies, he has gone 44 consecutive holes without a bogey on a course where the greens have been getting increasingly firm under more sunshine than this tournament is used to seeing. Read more
