Jordan Spieth at Memorial Tournament 2016: Saturday Leaderboard Score, Reaction

Following a two-over showing Saturday at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, it feels safe to say Jordan Spieth won't be hoisting championship hardware at Muirfield Village Golf Club on Sunday evening. 

Although Spieth came out on top at the Dean & Deluca Invitational a week ago and appeared primed for a surge in advance of the U.S. Open, he squandered that momentum and now sits well off the pace at four under with just one round remaining. 

Here's a look at the top of the leaderboard, which features a collection of players thriving with scores of at least 10 under par: 

Spieth's complete scorecard from moving day can be viewed below:  

Hole	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Hole	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18
Par	4	4	4	3	5	4	5	3	4
Round 3 Score	3	4	4	2	6	4	6	4	4
Overall Score	-7	-7	-7	-8	-7	-7	-6	-5	-5
Par	4	5	3	4	4	5	3	4	4
Round 3 Score	5	5	3	4	4	4	4	4	4
Overall Score	-4	-4	-4	-4	-4	-5	-4	-4	-4

Unlike his second round Friday, which featured bogeys on No. 1 and No. 4, Spieth started in far more productive fashion Saturday. In fact, he reversed that trend completely. 

While his focus was shaky off the first tee Friday, Spieth smashed his drive on No. 1 322 yards down the center of the fairway to set up an easy birdie conversion. Spieth also eyed redemption on No. 4, where his tee shot landed within feet of the cup to avenge Friday's two-over start through four.

However, his hot start was halted midway through the front nine when he failed to capitalize on a good scoring opportunity at the 527-yard par-five fifth. Spieth's approach on the reachable par five found a greenside bunker on the righthand side, and he couldn't get up and down in efficient fashion.  

Par-five frustrations continued two holes later when he bogeyed No. 7, and he proceeded to drop shots on back-to-back holes after an errant tee shot on the par-three eighth preceded more short-game struggles, per PGA Magazine's Jeremy Schilling: 

At that point, it was clear Spieth had unraveled. 

An errant tee shot on No. 10 put him in a precarious position when it came to saving par, and he wound up settling for another bogey as contention quickly became a fleeting prospect. 

For a player who told reporters he felt "great over the ball with my putter," following Round 2, per GolfChannel.com's Ryan Reiterman, Spieth was uncharacteristically out of sync with the flat stick Saturday—and it cost him. According to PGATour.com's live leaderboard, Spieth hovered around zero strokes gained putting—down significantly from his sixth-ranked season-long mark of plus-.675. 

Spieth provided a glimpse of encouraging form when he saved par on No. 14 and shook off his par-five woes with a birdie at No. 15, but those minor gains were nothing more than silver linings toward the conclusion of a disappointing round. 

And since a title at Muirfield is out of the picture, Spieth can hope to use Sunday as a potential springboard with U.S. Open play at Oakmont Country Club fast approaching. 

Repeating as U.S. Open champion a year after besting the field at Chambers Bay won't be easy given the caliber of golf Jason Day has been playing over the past month-plus, but if Spieth can tighten up his game off the tee and funnel putts into the hole at electric rates, he should be able to contend in daunting surroundings.
