Overview
- J.T. Poston vaulted into contention with a 7-under 65 in the second round and was tied with Ryan Gerard at 9-under through the early holes of the third when play was stopped on Saturday.
- Thunderstorms, heavy rain and hail forced officials to abandon the remainder of Saturday’s play and schedule a 7:30 a.m. Sunday restart followed by a final round played in threesomes off the first and 10th tees.
- Only a small group of players completed third-round holes before the suspension, leaving many to resume on a softened course that could change scoring dynamics during a long Sunday.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy both made the cut but sit well back after struggling with iron play this week and Scheffler said he felt he 'could have shot about 90' during his second round.
- Muirfield Village’s firm greens, thick rough and gusting wind have punished errant approach shots and produced volatility on the leaderboard while several notable players, including Jordan Spieth, Ben Griffin and Rickie Fowler, missed the cut.
