Fitzpatrick shoots 64 for second-round clubhouse lead in Memphis
REUTERS: England's Matthew Fitzpatrick stormed to the second-round clubhouse lead as overnight pacesetter Jon Rahm stalled his engine at the WGC-St. Jude Invitational in Memphis on Friday.
Fitzpatrick birdied the first four holes en route to a six-under-par 64 at TPC Southwind, his career-best score in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event.The former U.S. amateur champion posted a nine-under 131 halfway total, while world number one Brooks Koepka was four shots behind after a 67.The Spaniard was unable to replicate the hot form on the greens that he displayed on Thursday, when he sank five putts from outside 15 feet.
Sixty-three players are contesting the World Golf Championships event, which has replaced the old PGA Tour event in Memphis.The time slot, a week after the British Open, prompted five exempt players to decline participation - Tiger Woods, Francesco Molinari, Rickie Fowler, Bernd Wiesberger and Open champion Shane Lowry.
