DUBLIN, OHIO (AP) -- Rickie Fowler is one round closer to joining the youth movement on the PGA Tour. 

On another day of rain at the Memorial, the 21-year-old Fowler extended his bogey-free streak to 52 holes and made enough birdies for a 3-under 69 that gave him a three-shot lead going into the final round at Muirfield Village. 

Fowler was at 16-under 200 and had the largest 54-hole lead at the Memorial since Tiger Woods led by six in 2000. A victory would be the third by a player 22 years old or young in the last six weeks. 

Ricky Barnes, who played with Woods, dazzled the large gallery with a 10-under 62 and was at 203, along with Tim Petrovic (68). 

Woods, the defending champion, shot a 69 with a double bogey and was 10 shots behind. Phil Mickelson also failed to take advantage of the soft and vulnerable course with a 70, leaving him eight shots back.
