Bryson DeChambeau made birdies on two of the toughest holes for a 6-under 66 at Dublin, Ohio, to take a one-shot lead into a final round at the Memorial that features Tiger Woods in contention in the event for the first time in six years.

Woods let another great round get away by missing short putts, had to settle for a 68 and was five shots behind.

DeChambeau missed 3-foot birdie putts on the ninth and 15th holes. But he poured it on at the end to lead by one shot over Patrick Cantlay (66), Kyle Stanley and 19-year-old Joaquin Niemann of Chile. Stanley and Niemann played in the last group, and each shot 70.
