Rory McIlroy settles for 70 and a share of lead at Memorial

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Rory McIlroy realized Muirfield Village was playing so tough that he set a goal of just trying to break 70. He didn't quite get there, and his 2-under 70 still was enough for him to share the lead Saturday in the Memorial.

It helped that Hideki Matsuyama went from leading to dropping off the leaderboard in a span of six holes. And that Patrick Cantlay went into the water and over the green on his way to a triple bogey. David Lipsky bogeyed his last two holes.
