Nick Taylor makes it look easy in the rain and shares the lead at Memorial WSOC TV [Video]

DUBLIN, Ohio — (AP) — Nick Taylor brought his best golf on a day that required no less at the Memorial. He putted for birdie on all but one hole Friday, somehow kept bogeys off his card and had a 4-under 68 that gave him a share of the lead with Ben Griffin.

Taylor faced the worst of the weather, a rain that wouldn’t quit, and the Canadian leaned on his college days as a Washington Huskie. He doesn’t like these conditions, but he’s knows them.

Most impressive was keeping the stress at a minimum.

“It was a clean card, which was not necessarily what I expected,” Taylor said. “But it was nice to keep it as simple as possible.”

Griffin caught a slight break in the afternoon when the rain relented and Muirfield Village was soft. He had 16 pars, a birdie and a bogey for a 72 that put him at 7-under 137 with Taylor.
