Tway moves back into lead
Bob Tway in action at Muirfield Village
Tway has gone seven years without a tour win

Bob Tway will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, after shooting a four-under-par 68 on Saturday.

The 1989 winner and former PGA champion has struggled in recent years and has not won on the PGA Tour since capturing the MCI Classic in 1995.

But Tway, who was the first-round leader, produced a bogey-free 18 holes at the Muirfield Village Golf Club and collected four birdies along the way.

Tway finished at 12-under-par on 204, one shot ahead of Stewart Cink.


There will be some good rounds tomorrow but I'm really looking forward to it
Overnight leader
Bob Tway

"I think there were some good scores today, but I still think it was a difficult day to play," Tway said.

"The wind was blowing pretty good while we were out there, and on this golf course there's some fine lines between good and bad.

"There will be some good rounds tomorrow but I'm really looking forward to it.

"If it doesn't turn out good, then I'll learn something from it.

"If it turns out good, then that will be great. But I'm just going to go out with the same approach I had today."

Tiger Woods watches as he misses at putt during the third round
Woods has been well off the pace this week
Justin Leonard, who entered the day tied for the lead with former college team-mate Harrison Frazar, is two strokes off the pace after recording two bogeys in three holes on his way to a level-par 72

The occasion proved too much for Frazar, who struggled to a three-over 75.

Tiger Woods looks unlikely to become the first player in 75 years to win the same tournament in four consecutive seasons.

Woods is 12 shots off the pace after going round in par to finish level on 216, alongside golf legend Jack Nicklaus, who carded a 71.


Third-round scores:

204 Bob Tway 65 71 68
205 Stewart Cink 66 70 69
206 Justin Leonard 69 65 72
207 John Cook 73 69 65, Shigeki Maruyama (Jpn) 74 66 67, Skip Kendall 73 66 68
208 David Peoples 69 74 65, Heath Slocum 73 66 69, Vijay Singh (Fij) 69 67 72

Selected others

216 Tiger Woods 74 70 72, Jack Nicklaus 71 74 71
222 Sergio Garcia (Spa) 75 70 77
