McIlroy Shoots 62 to Lead Koepka by One Shot in Memphis

By Daily Sports on July 29, 2019

Rory McIlroy grabbed a one-shot lead over Brooks Koepka in the third round at the WGC-St. Jude Invitational in Memphis on Saturday, setting up the prospect of a mouth-watering finale.

McIlroy finished in style with three successive birdies, coaxing in a 27-foot putt at the last to take the lead with an eight-under-par 62 in ideal conditions at TPC Southwind.

The Northern Irishman posted a 12-under 198 total, one stroke better than fellow four-times major champion Koepka, who had a seven-birdie 64.

Halfway leader Matthew Fitzpatrick of England slipped two shots off the pace with an inconsistent 69 in the World Golf Championships event.

Spaniard Jon Rahm, Australian Marc Leishman and Swede Alex Noren are three shots behind, certainly not out of it even though all eyes will be on the two frontrunners. (Reuters)
