Steele takes early lead at Memorial. MORE:
It put him in the lead at the Memorial among the early starters.
Bryson DeChambeau pounded his tee shots — one of them went 423 yards — and still couldn't get his wedges terribly close. He had to save par with 6-foot putts four times on his second nine to salvage a 73.Steele overcame an early bogey with solid golf the rest of the way for a one-shot lead over Charles Howell III. A week ago at the Workday Charity Open, with slower greens, Collin Morikawa led with a 65 and went on to finish at 19-under 269 and won a playoff against Justin Thomas.
“The course is much firmer and faster. That goes for the fairways, the greens,” Steele said. “The greens are firm and fast, much more the speed that we’re used to playing when we get here, and then obviously the wind is whipping today. That combination makes for pretty tough scoring and a big difference from last week.”Cantlay's only bogey was when the wind switched on him. He normally hits 9-iron on the par-3 12th with the wind slightly behind him.
