DUSTIN IN LEAD

Dustin Johnson shot 7-under 63 for his lowest round this year and grabbed a one-stroke lead after 36 holes at the St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn. With a victory at TPC Southwind, Johnson would reclaim his spot as the world’s top-ranked player going into the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. He had four of his seven birdies and an eagle on his back nine for a 29 and finished with a 10-under 130 total. Ryan Blaum and Andrew Putnam each shot 64 and were tied second, and C.T. Pan (65) and Wesley Bryan (66) followed at 8 under. Brandt Snedeker shot his best round this year with a 62 that was one stroke off the course record. He was at 7 under.
