Chilean teen shares lead at Memorial

-

Joaquin Niemann made an eightfoot birdie putt on his final hole to share the lead with Kyle Stanley in the Memorial. Tiger Woods hit the ball well enough to be up there with them at Muirfield Village, except for missing five putts inside seven feet. Niemann is a 19-year-old from Chile in just his fifth pro start, and he already has a pair of top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour. He made seven birdies to join Stanley (66) at 11-under 133. They were two shots ahead of Byeong Hun An (67). Jason Day, who has never finished better than 15th at the Memorial, had another 68 and was three back. Woods had to settle for a 67. He was six behind. Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C. (70) was at even par, while Mackenzie Hughes of Hamilton (73) was 1-over and missed the cut.
