\u201cI think the PGA Tour did a really good job today in setting the pins,\u201c Nicklaus said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pins are all gettable, and if the Tour had hidden the pins today, the scores would have been so high.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, 65 is a sensational score today. I can\u2019t believe that anybody could shoot a 65 out there today.\u201c<\/p>\n
J.T Poston was the man who posted that sensational score on Friday at Muirfield Village.<\/p>\n
Sensational putting was the bedrock of J.T. Poston\u2019s round<\/p>\n
Poston carded nine pars, eight birdies and a solitary bogey on Friday at The Memorial and he leads by one heading into the third round.<\/p>\n

Muirfield Village really showed its teeth on Friday, with the average score jumping up to 74.119.<\/p>\n
Poston played some truly sensational golf on day two and a lot of his good work was done with the putter.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old gained more than four strokes on the field on the greens on day two at Muirfield Village.<\/p>\n
Jack Nicklaus was clearly very impressed by what he saw from J.T. Poston at Muirfield Village on Friday.<\/p>\n
Surely it\u2019s impossible to get a better compliment than that in the game of golf?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Nicklaus designed Muirfield Village to be one of the sternest tests on the PGA Tour.
