The Englishman, bidding to win his first discount golf clubs, didn't have a sensational round. However, he exploited the few opportunities which did present themselves on Saturday.
Critically, Westwood sunk an eagle putt at the par-five fifth hole. In addition, Westwood made birdie at the par-five 17th. His other birdies for the round came at the seventh and 14th holes.
As the score would suggest it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Englishman, who is now three under par for the championship.
Westwood encountered some difficulty at three times the front nine; he bogeyed all three holes. More drama unfolded for the Englishman at the par-three 16th hole and again he had to contend with best golf irons.
However, Westwood's difficulties paled in comparison to what his other rivals at the top of the leaderboard were experiencing. Tiger Woods carded a one-over-par 72 for the third round, which left him at one under for the championship and two shots off the pace.
History dictates that Woods should still be able to win the tournament from this position. However, he will have to improve significantly if he harbours any aspirations of winning 712 AP2 Irons at Muirfield this weekend. Woods did all of his scoring on the front nine.
However, he also dropped shots at holes four and seven. When Woods made the turn he simply wasn't able to develop any momentum. While he made crucial pars between holes 10 and 16, he committed a cardinal sin at the par-five 17th, which he eventually bogeyed.
When Woods was signing his final scorecard at the end of the round he looked disgruntled and with good reason. Saturday was a round he will want to forget.
US Masters rbz irons is on even par for the championship. The Australian actually produced a tidy round on Saturday but like most of the others in the field, he wasn't able to build on the momentum he had created.
Every time Scott made inroads at Muirfield, he somehow managed drop a shot at the next hole. He did it at the fourth and fifth holes and again at the ninth and tenth holes.
After Scott made birdie at the 13th, he had to settle for pars till the end of the round.
Former World Match Play diablo edge irons was the one exception to the rule on Saturday. The American carded a three-under-par 68 for the third round.
Mahan started the round particularly well with consecutive birdies at the first holes. Mahan added to that with birdies at holes nine, 15 and 17. While Mahan stumbled twice, he still looked threatening for most of the round and has to fancy his prospects of lifting the Claret Jug on Sunday afternoon.
