DUBLIN, Ohio \u2014 J.T. Poston and Ryan Gerard were tied for the lead Saturday at the Memorial when a second round of bad weather arrived and wiped out the rest of the third round before it had time to take shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

It might have come at a good time for Scottie Scheffler, who was making quite a charge until two bogeys in three holes, the last one from an iron off the tee into a creek.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it probably won\u2019t help the players like Poston who face a long Sunday to make up for the lost time and then have 36 holes of US Open qualifying Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Poston and Gerard were tied at 9-under par through five holes, one shot ahead of Sam Burns, who was through six holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with four hours of daylight available, the PGA Tour felt there was enough thunderstorm activity on the way to call it a day. The third round was to resume at 7 a.m., followed by a final round off both tees in threesomes for the first time all week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only 21 players finished the round, with Harris English (69) posting the best score at 3-under 213.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scheffler, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only players to win three in a row at the Memorial, started 10 shots behind and bogeyed the first hole. And then in a matter of minutes, or so it seems with Scheffler, he was in fourth place after a birdie-birdie-eagle stretch approaching the turn, and then an 8-foot birdie to start the back nine.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But then he had a three-putt par from some 65 feet, back to front, on the par-5 11th. He found a back bunker on the par-3 12th, a spot where it\u2019s nigh impossible to keep it on the green (he didn\u2019t) leading to another bogey.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then on the 14th, his iron drifted left and led to a splash and a penalty stroke, adding to a bogey that dropped the world\u2019s No. 1 player to 2 under for the round, still eight shots behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy also was eight behind through 16 holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

And this was no longer the same Muirfield Village, fast and firm and frightening all week, suddenly softened by bursts of rain and even some hail.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one felt it quite like Justin Thomas, who made a superb par save from behind the 18th green on Friday to make the cut on the number. That got him to the weekend, and he played as a single. Thomas figured that would at least give him the best weather, the best conditions to put up a good number and salvage the week.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he only played 12 holes in dry conditions before the first delay of 1 hour, 40 minutes. Enough rain fell to make the course a touch easier. And now 32 players still on the course return to a course much softer and easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thomas could only chuckle at his bad luck after his round of 72.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s kind of the joy of being first off because you normally get no wind and an easier course,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I missed the window. You know, you\u2019ve got to play better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Poston, meanwhile, can take a little stress off with one more long day of good play. A victory or even a runner-up finish would be worth enough world ranking points to move him high enough in the world ranking to be safe for the top 60 next week and get into the US Open.<\/span><\/p>\n
