Memphis (AFP) - Brooks Koepka's decision to squeeze in one more tournament before next week's US Open was paying off as the American grabbed the 36-hole lead at the St. Jude Classic.

Koepka on Friday fired a three-under-par 67 at TPC Southwind in Memphis for a nine-under total of 131.

He had a one-stroke lead over fellow American Austin Cook, who surged up the leaderboard with a six-under 64.
