Washington: China’s Zhang Xinjun showed a welcome return to form by firing two eagles for a four-under 68 in the second which propelled him to a tied 15th place at the Memorial Tournament. The China star made four other birdies against just as many bogeys to put himself in position for back-to-back top-10s in the PGA Tour tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus following his T10 last season. Zhang’s two-day total of three-under 141 sees him trailing second round clubhouse leader Patrick Cantlay by five strokes. Cantlay, a three-time Tour winner, fired a 67 for an eight-under 136 total to put himself in prime spot to win the Memorial Tournament for a second time in three years. Pan will enter the weekend in T43 after his 70 in the second round.
