뮤어필드 빌리지에서 강풍과 딱딱한 그린으로 치러진 2026 메모리얼 토너먼트 2라운드는 PGA 투어 선수들에게 거대한 시험대가 되었다.
저스틴 토머스는 3오버파 75타를 기록한 후, 이번 라운드가 자신이 기억하는 가장 어려운 경기였다고 말했다. 그는 예측 불가능한 바람 때문에 클럽 선택이 거의 불가능했으며, 선수들에게 실수를 허용할 여지가 전혀 없었다고 전했다. 토머스와 동반자인 로리 매킬로이는 마지막 그린에서 평소의 악수 대신 서로 포옹을 나누었다. 토머스는 합계 5오버파, 공동 47위로 하루를 마쳤다. 세계 랭킹 1위이자 대회 2연패를 노리는 스코티 셰플러는 이븐파 72타를 쳤다. 그는 90타는 칠 것 같다는 농담을 던지며 정규 타수 만에 그린에 올리는 데 어려움을 겪었다고 토로했다. J.T. 포스턴은 5언더파 65타로 이날 최저타를 기록하며 1타 차 단독 선두로 나섰다. 토요일 3라운드를 앞두고 언더파를 유지한 선수는 단 11명에 불과하다.
