DUBLIN, Ohio -- Matt Kuchar couldnt think of conditions more difficult than Saturday in the Memorial, and he had plenty of evidence. The swirling wind that made it difficult to pull the right club. Fast greens that led to 65 three-putts in the third round alone. And a 44 on the back nine for Tiger Woods, the highest nine-hole score of his professional career. "I think most of us would tend to be surprised any time Tiger shoots a number like that, but a lot more understandable in these conditions," Kuchar said after hanging on for a 2-under 70 that gave him a two-shot lead. "If youre not on good form, these conditions are really going to beat you up." Woods rallied on the front nine to salvage a 79, matching his second-worst score on the PGA Tour. And that wasnt even the highest score on a tough day at Muirfield Village. Jordan Spieth shot 45 on the front nine for an 82, while Zach Johnson and Justin Hicks each had an 81. Kevin Chappell matched the best round of the day with a 4-under 68, leaving him two shots out of the lead, along with Kyle Stanley, who had a 70. Chappell loves having a chance to win his first PGA Tour event, which isnt to suggest it was fun getting to that position. "I guess its like a prize fighter," Chappell said. "He enjoys winning, but I dont know if he enjoys getting hit that much." Kuchar was at 8-under 208, among 10 players separated by four shots. "It was a bit of survival," Kuchar said. "I was fortunate to make a handful of birdies. I think anytime you make a birdie in these conditions, you feel like youre really up on the field here. Most of these holes, youre looking at just getting out with a par." Woods didnt get away with anything. Going for his sixth win at the Memorial, and his fourth victory in his last five tournaments, Woods had two double bogeys and a triple bogey on the back nine for a 44, and he did that without a penalty shot. "The conditions were tough and when I missed it cost me," Woods said through a PGA Tour media official. "I caught the wrong gusts at the wrong time, made a couple bad swings and all in all, it just went the wrong way." He wound up 16 shots out of the lead. Woods will tee off late Sunday, but on the opposite side of the course in the two-tee start because of weather. The tournament was happy just to complete 54 holes with mid-afternoon storms that avoided Muirfield Village. Bill Haas, the 36-hole leader, ran off three straight bogeys late in his round for a 76, and he wasnt all that upset about it. Haas was still only three shots back, and it wasnt hard to determine that par was a good score. Like so many other players, Chappell wasnt sure which way the wind was blowing. On the 14th hole, with a wedge in hand from 105 yards, he felt the wind coming into him from the right, yet the flag was blowing in the opposite direction. "I kept saying, Wow, this is tough here. You hit a good shot and end up in a bad spot," Chappell said. "What can I do? Youve just got to keep doing it, put one foot in front of the other and finish each hole." Past winner Justin Rose had a 71 and joined Haas and Matt Jones (70) at 5-under 211. Masters champion Adam Scott had a 69 and was in the group at 4 under that included Charl Schwartzel, who was within one shot of the lead after completing the second round Saturday morning. The South African bogeyed both par 5s on the back nine and took double bogey on the 14th. He had a 41 on the back for a 76. That was still better than Woods, whose round was somewhat of a mystery -- not only because the worlds No. 1 player was in great form coming into a course where he has won five times, but because he was in good position off the tee. Woods, who started the round on No. 10, missed only one fairway on the back nine. He took double bogey on the par-3 12th when he was in such a bad spot in the front bunker that he had to play out sideways to the wrong side of a long green, and then he three-putted. On the par-5 15th, he pulled his second shot well to the left, and then took two chips to get onto the putting surface only for the ball to run through the green. He really was fooled on the 18th, with a chip that spun back down the hill and a three-putt from short range. He had three birdies on the front nine to avoid his worst score as a pro. That was an 81 at another Muirfield -- the real one -- in the third round of the British Open that cost him his best shot at the calendar Grand Slam in 2002. Kuchar surged into the lead with two birdies on the front nine and didnt drop a shot until the ninth hole, when he missed the green to the left. The wind got him on the 15th when his high fairway metal drifted beyond the bunker and into a hazard that Kuchar didnt know existed, leading to bogey. He saved par with a 10-foot putt on the par-3 16th, and made regulation pars coming in to give himself the 54-hole lead for the second straight week. He also was atop the leaderboard at Colonial, only to finish second to Boo Weekley. "If youre not hitting the ball solid, you dont have a chance," Kuchar said. Rory McIlroy had a 75, and part of him was happy to do that. He was safely inside the cut line when he returned Saturday morning to finish his round, and he birdied the 15th hole. He followed with back-to-back bogeys, and then came up short of the green and had to get up-and-down to avoid missing the cut. He made a 4-foot par save. Pat Perez and former Masters champion Bubba Watson were among those at 3-under 213, still with a chance but needing some help. Tee times were pushed back for Sunday in case of early storms that might require time to clean up the course. Perez was asked whether he wanted more wind. "Id like it to be dead calm," he said. "But I havent hit a shot when its not blowing 40 mph." Youth Portugal Jerseys . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. Portugal Soccer Jerseys .

Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season. So LSU and Florida will meet after all.They will play 42 days later than originally scheduled and about 600 miles west of the original site.But the No. 16 Tigers will host the No. 21 Gators on Saturday afternoon in Tiger Stadium in a game postponed from Oct. 8 in Gainesville, Fla., due to Hurricane Matthew.The new date and location came after several days of contentious negotiations involving the two schools and the SEC.Look, anything that comes up that really is out of your control, I mean, you can sit and cry about it or you can just move on, Florida coach Jim McElwain said. Thats what weve got to do. It is what it is. Were going there to play and thats the way it is.These teams seasons have come much more clearly into focus than they were when the postponement took place.LSU (6-3, 4-2 in the SEC) is 4-1 since Ed Orgeron was named interim head coach after Les Miles was fired in the wake of a 2-2 start.Florida (7-2, 5-2) has put itself on the cusp of a second consecutive SEC East Division title, though it enters the game with at least seven starters sidelined by injury. If the Gators win, they go back to Atlanta to play West Division champion and No. 1 Alabama on Dec. 3. If they lose, they can still win the East if Tennessee loses either at home to Missouri this week or at Vanderbilt next week.Had this game been played Oct. 8, Florida likely would have avoided Tigers All-America running back Leonard Fournette, who was sidelined by an ankle injury. Fournette aggravated the injury for the third time this season in a win against Arkansas last week but hes more likely to play than he would have been six weeks ago.Derrius Guice has established himself as one of the top running backs in the SEC while getting expanded playing time due to Fournettes limited playing time.Florida has the No. 2 rush defense in the SEC (111.7 yards per game), but its top three tacklers -- linebackers Jarrad Davis and Alex Anzalone and safety Marcus Maye -- wont play because of injury.The Gators also could be without as many as three starters on the offensive line.They were injured when we were about to play and then I guess they got a couple guys back and now they lost multiple guys, LSU outside linebacker Arden Key said.dddddddddddd I know theyre scared to come up here because they dont have all their stars or whatnot.Both teams have starting quarterbacks who transferred from Purdue and werent starters at the beginning of the season. Danny Etling replaced a struggling Brandon Harris after two games for LSU.Austin Appleby will be making his fourth start of the season and second in a row because of injuries to Luke Del Rio.LSU, which concludes the regular season at Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night, will honor its departing seniors before a home game it wasnt supposed to have. A week ago, the Gators bid farewell to their departing seniors a week earlier than originally planned.Had this game been played as originally scheduled, LSU would be hosting South Alabama on Saturday and Florida would be hosting Presbyterian College in a tune-up for its regular-season finale at Florida State next Saturday.Gators players remember October speculation that suggested they werent eager to play the game then or now.I think the LSU game is one of the biggest games for us every season just like FSU, just like Georgia, safety Nick Washington said. I mean were going to go into it with a little more of a chip on our shoulder because of whats been said in the media and what not. I know were ready to go.So instead of playing a non-conference breather, LSU and Florida are meeting in a Top 25 matchup with important implications. In addition to the Gators trying to wrap up a division title and strengthen their long-shot of making the College Football Playoff, the Tigers are trying to enhance their attractiveness to bowls and strengthen Orgerons case to be the full-time head coach when these teams finally meet in The Swamp next season.We didnt have success in one game. Were 4-1, Oregeron said in reference to whats happened since he took over. Theres a lot of good things weve done. I really feel like we have a good football team, and I like that theyre having fun.
