Taylor Makes It Look Easy in the Rain and Shares the Lead at Memorial

Nick Taylor and Ben Griffin shared the lead at the 2025 Memorial Tournament after two rounds at Muirfield Village on May 30, 2025.
The challenging course conditions included steady rain and thick rough, which players believed would help prepare them for the upcoming U.S. Open at Oakmont in two weeks.
Taylor carded a clean, 4-under 68 with 16 pars and only one birdie and bogey, while Griffin also played steadily in softer conditions with one birdie and bogey.
Taylor noted that his scorecard was free of mistakes, a result he hadn’t fully anticipated, and he described the rough as being nearly unmatched in difficulty for a standard tour event.
The 7-under total of 137 shared at the halfway mark marked the highest score to lead the Memorial after two rounds in more than a decade, reflecting challenging conditions that have made birdies rare and set the stage for a tough weekend.

Taylor, Griffin share lead at Memorial

DUBLIN — Nick Taylor brought his best golf on a day that required no less at the Memorial.
