PGA Tour live updates: Leaderboard, tee times, how to watch the Memorial
We're on to the weekend at Jack's Place. Nick Taylor and Ben Griffin opened the third round of action at the 2025 Memorial atop the leaderboard at 7 under, with a host of others all in the running.
Here's a look at all Saturday's action, complete with odds, TV schedule and more. (Looking for Friday's second-round coverage? Click here to see cut info and more.)
Memorial Tournament leaderboard
Keep up with the latest scores on our official PGA Tour leaderboard.
Ben Griffin takes 5-stroke lead
While others are struggling with the conditions, Ben Griffin is cruising, as he's moved out to a 5-stroke lead. His first birdie of the day came on the sixth hole, and he followed with two more on 7 and 8 to improve to 10 under as he approaches the turn. Griffin opened the day tied with Nick Taylor at 7 under, but Taylor opened with consecutive bogies and has since shot par on five straight holes to remain alone in second at 5 under.
Taylor drops two strokes to start, Griffin alone in lead
Griffin did what he did for most of Friday's competition, shooting par on the opening hole to stay at 7 under, but his playing partner wasn't so lucky. Taylor's 24-foot putt for par on the first hole missed by two feet, dropping him to 6 under for the day and one stroke behind Griffin. He followed with another bogey on No. 2, meaning Griffin had a two-stroke lead early on.

Sepp Straka is having birdie fun at Memorial
On Saturday, Sepp Straka notched a half-dozen birdies in a round for the second day in a row en route to posting a 66. What was the difference between Friday and Saturday? The other holes.
In the second round, Straka added a bogey and three doubles, while on Saturday, he was bogey-free.

"I had trouble yesterday in the rain hitting my driver in the fairway, got in some tough positions and, yeah, it's easy to get out of position on this golf course," Straka said. "Any time you're on a tee, you can either make a double or you can make a birdie. It's one of those courses where there's a lot of volatility, and today I executed pretty well, judged my lies very well, and judged the wind very well, which I did not do the first two days."

As of 4:30 p.m., Straka is in fourth place, 3 under and in a five-way tie with Jordan Spieth and others.
Scoring is difficult at Memorial on Saturday
The course is playing difficult today at the Memorial as just four players as of 1:30 p.m. are under par for the round. The leaders have yet to go off, but it's still a sign that a low number will be able to make a big jump today, as the majority of players are giving strokes away. Only Sepp Straka is more than one under for the day thus far, as his two birdies in the first seven holes have pushed him into the top 20 at 1 over for the tournament.
Who's on the Memorial TV broadcast?
Vets Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman lead the CBS Sports crew on today's broadcast of the Memorial. See below for full TV details.
There's sunshine at Muirfield
Hideki Matsuyama is first off the tee at 10 a.m. and the 2014 Memorial winner from "The Land of the Rising Sun" is probably glad there is some sun today. Matsuyama, the only Memorial winner from Japan, goes off alone, which means no five-hour round for him.

Who is Bob Baptist and why is he a big deal at the Memorial?

Bob Baptist has been retired since 2015, but still says 'we' and 'us' when discussing sports writers and the media biz. A true newspaper man never forgets, and BB's blood still runs printer ink black.
Trivia question: Who has written more words than anyone about the Memorial Tournament? Answer: Baptist, whose career at The Columbus Dispatch lasted from 1976 until he typed his last sentence nearly four decades later. During that span, BB covered every Memorial, becoming something of a wet-weather expert along the way.

Can Scottie Scheffler earn another milkshake?
Scottie Scheffler shakes hands with tournament Jack Nicklaus after winning the 2024 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
At the 2024 Memorial Tournament, Scottie Scheffler finally was on the receiving end of the coveted winner's handshake from host Jack Nicklaus. It was a meaningful moment for Scheffler, who recalled coming up short at Muirfield Village Golf Club in 2021 and getting a cool consolation prize from the 18-time major winner affectionately called the Golden Bear.
'He shakes my hand and he says, 'Listen Scottie, you didn't make the putt today, but one day you're going to make the putt on this green to win this tournament.' And I said, 'Well thanks, Mr. Nicklaus, I really appreciate the support, thanks for a great week year, yada, yada, yada.' And a couple years later, he was right, I made the putt to win the tournament,' Scheffler recalled during his Wednesday pre-tournament press conference for the 2025 Memorial. 'It was just a really cool kind of full-circle moment.'

Scheffler enters the third round just three shots behind the leaders.

Aussie dad and sons make shocking roadside discovery while travelling 100km/h
An Aussie dad was driving his young sons down a remote road early one morning this month when a 'little white flash' suddenly appeared in the distance. Erin Stevens, who was taking his boys to 'vacation care' on the last day of the school holidays, told Yahoo News he initially brushed off the unusual sight as 'nothing', but as he got closer, he realised something was very wrong. Travelling at about 100km/h on Umbiram Road, roughly 20km outside of Toowoomba in Queensland, the dad said he 'hit the brakes' and chucked a U-turn after spotting a cardboard box nestled in long grass. Moments after he came to stop, Erin started filming as he and his sons darted across the empty road to investigate what was moving around inside. Video footage, which has since gone viral, shows the kids looking through the box and pulling out a total of four 'pretty emaciated' five-week-old puppies. 'Has it fallen off a ute?' Erin says. 'No, it looks like it's dumped,' one of the boys responds. Aussie dad, sons save puppies dumped in taped cardboard box Erin told Yahoo it appeared that one of the dogs had chewed through the corner of the taped box, creating a hole just large enough for it to escape. 'One of them had got out of the box, but as soon as we pulled up, they sort of ran back in,' he said. 'And then as soon as the boys were there, they were all sooking and jumped out, and the boys nursed them on the way home.' Over the next few days, each of Erin's four sons cared for a puppy each. The dogs, all of which weighed less than 2kg, were also taken to a nearby vet to get vaccinated and microchipped. 'Who leaves a box of pups on the side of the road? We've got a council depot in town for animals, we've got the RSPCA, [and] a couple of venues in town that you could easily leave the pups at. So, yeah, puzzling welfare concepts there,' the dad told Yahoo. While it's unclear exactly how long the puppies had been in the box, Erin said it didn't look like they had been there overnight given they had not urinated or defecated inside. He believes he spotted the puppies less than an hour after they had been dumped. 'The box was kind of concealed in the long grass. If it wasn't for the movement, there's just no way you would have seen it,' Erin added. 'They happened to break out just as we were heading out.' Abandoned puppies 'thriving' after being adopted After posting the footage online, Erin said he was inundated with offers to help. Despite his sons' pleas to keep all four puppies, three were adopted out to family members and close friends. 'We have added the last one to our family for my boys to raise, a great little pup.' The condition of the puppies has since improved greatly. 'They've all bounced back with food in their belly, worming and a bit of care, and they're thriving.' In Queensland, anyone caught deliberately dumping an unwanted animal at the roadside or in the bush faces a maximum penalty of $50,070 or one year in prison. 🚨 Plea to Aussies after 'terrible' discovery in car park amid growing trend 💦 Aussie pet owners warned over hidden risk after four dogs die within a week 🚘 Driver slammed for 'outright stupid' dog act risking $592 fine Puppy dumpings on the rise across Australia Yahoo News has reported on countless incidents of puppy dumpings, including dogs being ditched in bushland in Sydney's west, a box crammed full of newborns left in the blistering heat in a park and more found by the side of a road in Perth. In June, three 10-week-old puppies suffering from a severe skin condition were left in a car park in Adelaide, sparking an urgent appeal from authorities. There has been an increase in animal dumpings in recent years, and animal welfare advocate Sarah Rose — who found the dogs in Sydney last year — believes both backyard breeding and irresponsible pet ownership is driving the issue. 'People need to understand before they purchase a dog in particular, there are long-term responsibilities that come with pet ownership, even if their circumstances change,' she told Yahoo previously. 'There is an animal welfare crisis and epidemic occurring with our companion dogs. It's an absolute disgrace. Backyard breeding must be outlawed, it is contributing to countless dogs being dumped.'

Manny Pacquiao stages inspiring performance in ring. Follow his lead.
You're not too old! It's not too late! Now's the time! Sorry, folks, still feeling inspired by Manny Pacquiao's performance Saturday night. The 46-year-old Filipino boxing legend returned to the ring and astonished the sports world. Victory escaped him. The moment did not. Fighting for the first time in almost four years, Pacquiao battled 30-year-old Mario Barrios, the reigning WBC welterweight champion, to a majority draw. The judges scored it 115-113 (for Barrios), 114-114, 114-114. But the scorecards failed to reflect Pacquiao's performance. The swelling on Barrios' forehead, however, was proof Pacquiao can still punch. Hard. Even more impressive, for much of the 12-round welterweight fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Pacquiao stayed on the move. He darted toward Barrios and landed combinations. He retreated when necessary. He bounced on his feet. Over 12 rounds, 36 minutes of boxing. "It was crazy," Barrios said. "His stamina." So how does a 46-year-old man do it? What's the secret? "Oh, just work hard," Pacquiao told broadcaster Jim Gray in the ring after the fight. "Hard work and then discipline." Mike Tyson likes to say, "Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it." Of course, Tyson looked every bit 58 when he lost to Jake Paul by unanimous decision Nov. 15. That accounted for some of the trepidation as Pacquiao climbed back into the ring. But much to our delight, Pacquiao looked like you'd want to look at 46. During the fight, and after the fight, fans showered him with chants of "Manny, Manny, Manny!" Perhaps the better way to honor Pacquiao, is to follow his lead. Don't give up. Dig deep. Work hard. Show discipline. Then get in the proverbial ring and, despite any self-doubt, fight Father Time.
