"I think by tomorrow, they can do what they want with the setup, as far as the greens getting a little faster," List told pgatour.com about how the course is beginning to dry out after rain earlier in the week.

Best round - Rafael Cabrera Bello

The Spaniard bogeyed his opening hole on Saturday, but quickly recovered, making seven birdies, nine pars, and one bogey for a third-round 65. The 9-under par total gives Cabrera Bello a share of the 54-hole lead heading into Sunday.

Stat Round 3
Fairways hit 8/14

Total putts 23

Shot of the day - Whee Kim

Kim was spot on with his third shot at the par-5 16th, holing out for eagle from 118 yards.

Biggest disappointment - Mickelson's finish

Mickelson was 4-under par on the day with just two holes to go at TPC Southwind, but he bogeyed 17, and then made double-bogey on 18 after his tee shot found the water.

Stat - 31 and counting

Ben Crane hasn't made a bogey since the fifth hole on Friday, a stretch of 31 holes without a blemish.

Sunday's storyline

  • Even with a poor finish, Mickelson is only four strokes behind the three co-leaders.
  • Cink has struggled this season on tour while his wife battles breast cancer, but can end his nearly eight-year drought on Sunday in Memphis with a win.
