2 R Gerard-8 69 Starts RD with birdie on #3 for lead, hung in there but bogies on 13&18.

3 S Burns-6 69 Eagles #7, 2 bogies , 3 birdies. A best known player who may win.

4 T Fleetwood-4 73 After bogie free Rd 1, 3 in Rd 2, as usual will be in top 10 but no win.

9 S Lowry-1 73 I would love to see him win, but DB’s on 1“1& 18 I doubt it.

COMMENTARY

Another great Memorial, Jack thinks-10 will win, its anyones tournament.

Are these top players really in it. I say NO WAY.

19 S Scheffler+1 72 Two sub par RDs 73, 72 with 1 DB, 5 bogies, 6 birdies.

19 R McIlroy+ Like Scottie, 71&74, 2 DB’s 3 bogies, 7 birdies.

Others #19 Justin Rose, #28 Gary Woodland, Nick Taylor & Matt Fitzpatrick, Adam Scott,

#38 Chris Gotterup, Si Woo Kim, Russell Henley.

I say Poston, Gerard or Cole should win.

Top guys could be X Schauffele or P Cantlay.
