The 2023 Memorial Tournament closed its second day with Justin Suh as the lone leader with -8, one stroke ahead of Hideki Matsuyama and two ahead of Patrick Cantlay and David Lipsky.
It was a second round of ups and downs in the Memorial Tournament, where Matsuyama jumped more than 30 places on the leaderboard by achieving the best score of the day with -7.
But the Japanese did not manage to consolidate the Memorial Tournament's first place because Justin Suh literally snatched it from him with his last shot when the American made a birdie on the 18th hole that gave him his final score of -8.
Another one who had a good rebound was Rory McIlroy (T7) who moved up 26 places with a second round of -4.
The most pronounced fall was that of Matt Wallace, who dropped 15 places after a very poor second round (+2), after a very creditable first day.
At the end of the second round, 66 players made the cut, out of which 43 played for par or better. Justin Thomas and Jason Day stand out among the golfers who could not advance in the Memorial Tournament.
