The leader board is still crowded

Three share first in Memphis

-

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 in Memphis.

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-year-old from Arizona State earned his only win on tour at the RBC Canadian Open in 2008.

Menomonee Falls native Mark Wilson had a 69, but missed the cut.

LPGA Tour: Alena Sharp shot her second straight 66 to move into a share of the lead at 12under 132 after the second round of the Manulife Classic in Cambridge, Ontario.

Sharp, from nearby Hamilton, was tied with American Lexi Thompson (65) and South Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim (68). Perrine Delacour (62) of France and American Lindy Duncan (65) were one shot back.

Shanshan Feng of China had a 69 to move to 10 under, in a tie with Britain’s Bronte Law (65) and Australia’s Minjee Lee (66).

Suzann Pettersen of Norway had a 71 to move to 9 under.

Champions Tour: Bernhard Langer, Kevin Sutherland and Glen Day each shot 6-under 66 to share the openingrou­nd lead of the Principal Charity Classic.

Langer won the last two senior circuit events, both majors, and is seeking to become the first player on the 50and-over tour with wins in three straight starts since Fred Couples in 2010.

Madison’s Jerry Kelly was among the six players who shot 67s at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines, Iowa.
