The Memorial Tournament will continue this weekend without some big names.
After 36 holes at the Jack Nicklaus designed Muirfield Village, America’s J.T. Poston has a one-shot lead.
The 33-year-old tore round the Ohio venue on Friday, carding a seven-under 65 to reach nine-under.
Poston’s round included eight birdies and only one dropped shot.
He leads compatriot Ryan Gerard by one stroke at the halfway stage.
