The PGA Tour Leaderboard at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio has Paul Casey coming into the day in first place, while Bubba Watson is in second place above Chris Kirk as the live stream picks up online and players like Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson are chasing the lead and things have already started up at the tourney for the third round and now the weekend will dictate the winner at the tournament after Matt Kuchar won last year and McIlroy won on the Euro Tour in a comeback last week.
McIlroy has been dealing with the breakup with Caroline Wozniacki and clearly he is dealing with it better than her, as she was eliminated at the French Open in the first round and he ended up winning the BMW on a great comeback and now he is looking to do the same at Muirfield at the Memorial, as he is chasing Watson and Casey on the leaderboard. Right now McIlroy is in 27th on the board and he is three under par coming into the day and other players like Adam Scott and Nick Watney are also looking to move up the leaderboard.
McIlroy got off to a slow start, but he was able to put up a fantastic score with a 63 and that moved him up the board on the first day and that was the best in 40 years and then he fell back after having a lead, putting up a score 15 shots worse. McIlroy ended up with a near 80 at 78 and had a set of three double bogeys in a row and he ended up nine shots back after going three shots up and now he is looking to make a comeback like he did at the BMW.
Casey comes in with a 12 under 132 on the tournament and now he is on his way to keeping that lead on Saturday, as he will get started late and he had a nice run of birdies and is playing well heading into the final two rounds over the weekend. Watson is making a nice run and he came back in the second round and now he is looking to set a best mark at the Memorial after finishing 23 or lower previously and now he is ahead of Chris Kirk and Hideki Matsuyama as well as Martin Flores. Adam Scott is number one in the world and he won at Colonia and he is back at five under and looking to keep going.
Mickelson is coming in while dealing with an insider trading probe and according to ESPN.com a number of others are involved, including Carl Ichan and others, while Mick said that there was no wrongdoing. Mickelson did not appear worried about it and said that he was cooperating and that he did nothing wrong in the situation. The tournament picks up on Saturday and the final round is Sunday.
