Good scoring chances didn’t come easy this weekend at the Memorial Tournament, as soggy course conditions bogged down play. But clear skies and sun are in the forecast for the tournament’s final day. With nine players within four strokes of leader Matt Kuchar (-8), Sunday at Muirfield Village should hold plenty of surprises. Kevin Chappell and Kyle Stanley enter the final round just two...
