Moving day at Memorial wrap

As Jason Dufner's wheels come off

The golfing gods have been having a laugh, as the wheels came off for Jason Dufner on moving day at Memorial.

Jason Dufner had shot a second consecutive round of 65 to record a new tournament record of -14 after 36 holes to take the lead by 5 clear shots, but then the wheels started to fall off.

He lost his lead with four straight bogeys on the front nine, and then proceeded to dump two balls in the water and post a 77, a whole 12 shots worse than on his two previous days!

What the golfing gods give, they know how to take back, and in pretty short shift too.

"Today was pretty pathetic on all accounts, so have to play better tomorrow," he said after his round. "The tournament is not over," Dufner added. "It will be over tomorrow."

As the leader board now stands it is Daniel Summerhays who is on top, after he shot a -4 68 to give himself a three shot lead, and a crack at his maiden PGA Tour victory.

Matt Kuchar, who shot a 67, will join him in the final group. He may have won the Memorial four years ago, but it is now 82 tour starts without a victory for the Kuch.
