\n DUBLIN, Ohio \u2014 Tony Finau, who said he\u2019s been \u201cinspired\u2019\u2019 by the bombs-away strategy of Bryson DeChambeau, has decided to swing harder for more success.<\/p>\n

Ryan Palmer, disturbed by his faltering short game<\/a> and putting, turned to Steve Stricker for advice and he unearthed an old putter he hadn\u2019t used in some five years and put it back into play.<\/p>\n

Both players, polar-opposite types, enter the weekend with a share of the Memorial lead at 9-under after Palmer shot 68 in Friday\u2019s second round and Finau shot 69 at Muirfield Village Golf Club.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re trailed by Jon Rahm at 8-under , then Gary Woodland, Luke List and Chez Reavie at 6-under, and then Jason Day, who\u2019s 5-under after shooting 66 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Finau and Palmer are proof that success comes from all kinds of formulas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the middle of last week, my coach Boyd Summerhays and I decided to crank some up a little bit after being inspired by Bryson, seeing how straight he was hitting it and how hard,\u2019\u2019 Finau said. \u201cSo, I decided to crank it up and work on hitting a really hard fade. I\u2019ve let a few go so far this week, and it\u2019s been pretty fun for me to kind of reach back more so than I have in the past and kind of open up and hit some.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Palmer, who hasn\u2019t played in the Memorial since 2011, played in last week\u2019s Workday Charity Open at Muirfield and had the unusual and somewhat insulting circumstance of having to return to Muirfield Village on the Saturday for one final hole to close out his second-round 81.<\/p>\n

He went home to Texas the next day for a couple days before returning to Ohio to play this week. Palmer\u2019s caddie, James Edmondson, suggested that he shake things up a bit and mentioned going back to the old putter \u2014 an Odyssey Rossie II \u2014 that had been in his bag since his college days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called Steve Stricker wanting to play nine holes with him and I wanted his advice on my short game,\u201d Palmer said. \u201cHe showed me some things that I was doing wrong and what he does, what he concentrates on, and I put the work into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palmer responded with an opening-round 67 followed by Friday\u2019s 68.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a good text I sent to [Stricker],\u201d Palmer said. \u201cThe short-game lesson with Stricker for sure (helped) and I put in the work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and it was a matter of putting it to the test Thursday. For me, the hard part is over in my mind, and now we\u2019re just letting it go on the weekend. I really feel I have a chance come Sunday.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

So, too, does Finau, who has only one PGA Tour victory. His confidence was buoyed by a 59 he shot last week at home while playing with his son.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of just told me how good I am at scoring the golf ball,\u2019\u2019 Finau said. \u201cIt told me I was in good form. I think I definitely carried some of that right into this week, and that confidence I think is pretty cool. It\u2019s only the second time I\u2019ve ever shot in the 50s, so that was quite fun to have my boy there and some of his crew with me.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
