Rickie Fowler gave himself a chance to be the next youngster to win on the PGA Tour, shooting a 6-under 66 on Friday in Dublin, Ohio, to tie the 36-hole record at the Memorial Tournament and take a three-shot lead.

Fowler, 21, ran off three straight birdies late in his round, giving him a good buffer from second-place Justin Rose heading into the weekend at Muirfield Village.

Fowler was at 13-under 131. That tied the tournament record set by Scott Hoch in 1987.

Defending champion Tiger Woods birdied three of the opening five holes, then ran off three straight birdies on his front nine to offset the few mistakes for a 69. He was at 3-under 141, 10 shots behind but still playing.

• Tommy Armour III matched the course record with an 8-under 63 to take a three-stroke lead after the first round of the Principal Charity Classic in West Des Moines, Iowa. … Marcel Siem (67) and Andrew Doht (70) were tied for the lead at 6 under after the second round of the Wales Open in Newport.
