MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Sloppy mud one day, broiling heat the next. Lucas Glover is playing his best golf no the matter the conditions on the ground or in the air, posting a 6-under 64 on Friday for a one-shot lead over Jordan Spieth in the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Glover holed three putts longer than 25 feet, one of them for eagle on the par-5 16th, and has made only one bogey through 36 holes going into the weekend of the PGA TOUR's Playoffs opener at TPC Southwind. Read more

From RTE.ie:
Rory McIlroy goes into the weekend's play at the FedEx St. Jude Championship just three shots off the lead after shooting a round of 66 in Memphis.
With just one bogey to mar his card, McIlroy is well placed for a weekend charge with a return to the the World No. 1 spot also in his sights.
A win in Memphis along with Scottie Scheffler finishing outside the top five would be enough for the McIlroy to return to the top spot in golf rankings. Read more
