DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) Ernie Els came out firing and never let up Saturday until he had a 6-under 66, an immaculate round that gave him a two-shot lead in the Memorial.
Els pulled away with back-to-back birdies late in the round at Muirfield Village, getting up-and-down on the par-5 15th and following with a tee shot into 6 feet on the 16th to give himself a small cushion over Fred Couples (68), K.J. Choi (68) and Justin Rose (69).
