David Puig of Spain had a 6-under 66 on Saturday to join a four-way share of the lead going into the final round of LIV Golf Houston that no longer includes Jon Rahm. Rahm withdrew after playing is six holes — all of them pars — because of an infected left foot. Puig, the 22-year-old Spaniard who played at Arizona State, was tied with Carlos Ortiz (68), Adrian Meronk (69) and Paul Casey (67).
Scottie Scheffler is looking for his fifth win of the season and is in a great position to do so thanks to a four-shot advantage at the Memorial.
Scottie Scheffler hit out of a bunker over the green and into the water. In his final start before the U.S. Open, Scheffler seized control despite a couple of blunders on a tough Muirfield Village course. Scheffler was at 10-under 206, four shots ahead of Collin Morikawa, who played bogey-free for a 68, and Adam Hadwin, who made all his mistakes on one hole and shot 72.
Jon Rahm’s frustrating season suffered yet another setback when he was forced to withdraw during the second round of a LIV event in Houston. The Spaniard’s hopes of challenging for a second US Open title next week now appear bleak indeed.
