The second round of the 2012 Memorial gets underway early Friday morning at Muirfield Village in Columbus and there are plenty of juicy storylines at the top of the leaderboard, Erik Compton is just one shot off the lead held by Scott Stallings at 6-under. Compton is best known for his incredible backstory, which involves two heart transplants and a long journey to make it to the PGA Tour, where he's playing as a rookie in 2012. He fired a first-round 67 and will look to follow that up on Friday when he tees off at 8:59 a.m. ET in the last group of the morning wave.
Television coverage will not begin until after the conclusion of Compton's round, with Golf Channel broadcasting from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET. They will almost certainly focus their cameras on two groups playing back-to-back. Tiger Woods, who had perhaps his most solid round since his win at Bay Hill, is 2-under and tied for 11th. He goes off No. 1 at 1:05 p.m. ET playing alongside Fred Couples and Bill Haas. One group ahead of him will be Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, and Keegan Bradley.
In what always seems to be the case at The Memorial, there's an 80 percent chance of rain in the Dublin area on Friday, which could result in a significant delay. A complete schedule of tee times below:
