Reavie leads at St. Jude

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Chez Reavie shot a 5under 65 on Friday to move to 9-under 131 and share the lead with Charl Schwartzel and Sebastian Munoz after two rounds at the St. Jude Classic.

Schwartzel had a 66 while Munoz finished the round with a 67. Stewart Cink — who shared the first-round lead along with Matt Every, Scott Brown and Munoz — was one stroke back after his 68 at the PGA Tour’s final event before the U.S. Open.

Ben Crane, who won this tournament in 2014, was two strokes off the lead after shooting a 65 at the par-70 TPC Southwind course.

Reavie, who started two strokes behind the co-leaders, had three birdies on the front nine and an eagle on the par-5 No. 16, landing his second shot fewer than 15 feet from the flagstick and sinking the putt. The 35-yearold from Arizona State earned his only win on tour at the RBC Canadian Open in 2008.

“There’s no way that I can change my mindset and go out there and try and make pars — I won’t win the golf tournament if I do that,” Reavie said. “I need to just keep doing the same thing I’m doing — attack the holes that suit my eye and make as many birdies as I can.”

David Hearn (67) of Brantford, Ont., was tied for 28th at 3 under and Ottawa’s Brad Fristch (75) missed the cut.

Schwartzel, who finished third at The Masters, is seeking his third career victory on tour — he’s won 12 times internationally — and first since he won the 2016 Valspar Championship near Tampa, Florida.
