Trio tied at 9-under for lead at Memphis

-

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Chez Reavie shot a 5-under 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-year-old 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 to make pars — I won't win the golf tournament if I do that,” Reavie said.

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario — Alena Sharp shot her second straight 66 Friday to move into a share of the lead at 12-under 132 after the second round of the Manulife LPGA Classic. Sharp, from nearby Hamilton, was tied with Lexi Thompson (65) and South Korea's Hyo Joo Kim (68). Perrine Delacour (62) of France, American Lindy Duncan (65) and South Korea's In Gee Chun (66) 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).

DES MOINES, Iowa — Bernhard Langer is on quite a roll as he tries to become the first in seven years to win three straight PGA Tour Champions events. After one round in Iowa, he's tied with Kevin Sutherland and Glen Day after 6-under 66s to share the openingrou­nd lead. Langer is seeking to become the first on the 50-and-over tour with three consecutiv­e wins since Fred Couples in 2010.
