Poston Seizes Control at Muirfield Village

J.T. Poston delivered one of the rounds of the week on Friday, carding a 7-under 65 with eight birdies and just one bogey to vault to the top of the 2026 Memorial Tournament leaderboard. He stands at 9-under par, one shot clear of Ryan Gerard heading into Saturday's third round.

The conditions proved punishing for the tournament favorites. Scottie Scheffler posted a 72 and Rory McIlroy a 74, leaving both at 1-over par — well off the pace. Jordan Spieth's 79 ended his week early, as he missed the cut.
