The inspired and the inspiration produced disparate second rounds Friday at the Memorial Tournament, as Tony Finau fired 3-under 69 to join Ryan Palmer atop the leaderboard at Muirfield Village while Bryson DeChambeau, thanks to one disastrous hole, will be leaving Dublin, Ohio, earlier than expected. Here’s what you need to know:
Leaderboard: Finau (-9), Palmer (-9), Jon Rahm (-8), Gary Woodland (-6), Chez Reavie (-6), Luke List (-6)
What it means: Finau talked earlier this week about being inspired by DeChambeau’s recent distance gains. Last week during a casual round back home in Utah, Finau reached 206 mph ball speed on a drive, which he posted a video of on social media.
