Dufner leads by 5, sets scoring record at Memorial

DUBLIN, Ohio – Jason Dufner wanted to put together more than just a few good rounds this week at the Memorial.

The first two put him in the record book.

Dufner holed out from 176 yards on the 18th hole for an eagle, and then added three more birdies on the front nine at Muirfield Village for another 7-under 65. That put him at 130 and gave him the 36-hole scoring record at the Memorial.

Scott Hoch in 1987 and Rickie Fowler in 2010 previously shared the record at 13-under 131.
