Horschel holds five-shot lead heading into final day of Memorial Tournament

American Billy Horschel was in prime position to claim victory in the Memorial Tournament after surging up the leaderboard to take a five-stroke lead in Ohio.

The former FedEx champion carded a bogey-free 65 at Muirfield Village Golf Club to be 13-under par for the tournament as he moved ahead of compatriot Aaron Wise and world number three Cameron Smith of Australia.

"It's just going through our process, making sure we have a number where we're trying to land the ball, talking about the shot, the club selection, the wind," Horschel said.

"When we do that, it allows me to have a clearer picture and have a little bit more of a higher acceptance level over the golf shot."

Wise and Smith were at eight under after respective rounds of 69 and 72, followed one shot back by American Daniel Berger, Francesco Molinari of Italy and Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas.

Rory McIlroy had consecutive bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes, as well as another on the par-three eighth, to go with his pair of birdies en route to carding a 73 to have him at four under.

Ireland's Shane Lowry was a further shot behind at three under, Englishman Aaron Rai mixed seven birdies with four bogeys to be at one under along with a pack that included former world number one Jon Rahm and Scot Martin Laird who was at even-par after a round of 71.

Hideki Matsuyama was disqualified from the Memorial Tournament for markings on his three-wood during Thursday's first round.

The 2021 Masters Champion was told after finishing the ninth hole that his equipment was in breach of PGA Tour regulations.

It marked the first time the former Masters champion has been disqualified from a PGA Tour event.
