Scott charges ahead as Woods fumbles again
DUBLIN (Ohio), June 2: Adam Scott matched the lowest score of his career to vault to the second-round lead at the Memorial tournament on Friday. The Australian ran off 11 birdies for a 10-under-par 62 in perfect morning conditions at Muirfield Village, his only bogey coming at the par-three 16th.
Scott posted a 12-under 132 total, one shot better than countryman Rod Pampling (68), while yet another Australian, Aaron Baddeley (68) was two shots behind with American Bubba Watson (68).
Tiger Woods left himself with a big deficit, 10 shots off the pace after a mediocre 72.
Phil Mickelson received good news on Friday when tests revealed that his sore left wrist was not broken, merely inflamed, boosting his hopes of playing in the US Open in a fortnight.
