It was a tale of two nines for Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri as he shot five-under on the front nine before slumping to 2-over 38 for a 3-under 69 that still moved him 14 places up at the Memorial Tournament here.
Lahiri is now T-21 at 7-under.
India's other challenger this week, Shubhankar Sharma had earlier missed the cut.
Bryson DeChambeau fired a 6-under 66 that included birdies on two of the toughest holes to take a one-shot lead going into a final round.
DeChambeau missed two short putts but was still 14-under 202. He missed a 3-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole, and then missed a birdie putt from 4 feet on the par-5 15th.
But once again the focus was on Tiger Woods (68) who is in frame at Muirfield Village for the first time in six years.
At 9-under, he was 5-behind, but his form was brilliant despite his putting let him down again.
Asked if he was ready win, Woods said, "Well, I was at 11-under par, and I had wasted a bunch of shots the last two days and I was 4-over par in the first round, so you do the math."
