Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler each finished Saturday’s third round at one‑under par at the Memorial Tournament, a modest gain that leaves them far behind the lead. JT Poston and Ryan Gerard sit at nine under, setting the pace for the field. Heavy rain, wind and hail battered Muirfield Village midweek competition that.

Both men completed most of their rounds before the storm halted play again. McIlroy shot 16 holes, Scheffler a couple fewer, while the leaders managed only five before a TV tower collapsed near the tenth green. Officials cut the day at 6pm local time, citing safety concerns for the field and players in the area.

PGA Tour officials confirmed the third round will resume Sunday at 7.30am (12.30pm UK and Ireland). Final‑round tee times will start around 11am, running to 12.45pm off holes 1and 10 in groups of three. Fans can follow the action live on Sky Sports, with coverage beginning at 2pm Saturday for all viewers worldwide today again.

The interruption underscores the volatility of Muirfield Village’s weather, a factor that can reshape standings overnight. With Poston and Gerard firmly ahead, the gap will test McIlroy and Scheffler’s resilience as they chase a major title. The rescheduled play will determine who can capitalize on the sudden pause and secure a win for the season.
