Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler made significant strides in the third round of the Memorial Tournament, both finishing at one-under par before play was suspended due to severe weather conditions.

The pair, despite their progress, remain behind the leaders, JT Poston and Ryan Gerard, who dominate the leaderboard at nine under par. As heavy rain, wind, and hail struck Muirfield Village, the tournament faced interruptions that ultimately curtailed play.

• McIlroy completed 16 holes before the storm forced a halt.
• Scheffler managed to finish just a couple fewer than his counterpart.

The leading players had less luck, managing to complete only five holes before the inclement weather set in, which even caused a TV tower to collapse. Course officials announced that play would not resume at 6 PM local time, leaving the fate of the tournament hanging in the balance.

Further updates on the tournament are expected as conditions evolve.
