Crane still St. Jude leader at 12 under

Ben Crane remained atop the leaderboard with his 5-under 65 good enough for a four-stroke lead once the weather-delayed second round finally ended at the US PGA Tour’s St. Jude Classic on Saturday.

Crane finished his first 36 holes on Friday with a 12-under 128 total before a delay for lightning, then thunderstorms washed out play and closed the TPC Southwind course.

Fog delayed the start of play on Saturday for an hour and the drenched course made for softer, more receptive greens, though also stopping shots from rolling in the fairways.

Retief Goosen (66) and Camilo Villegas (64) were at 132.

Peter Malnati (68) and Troy Merritt (66) were at 133, with Carl Pettersson (67) and Brian Harman (65) at 134.

Phil Mickelson shot a 68 after a bogey-birdie-bogey-birdie start. He was in a group of eight at 135 including Davis Love III (70), Billy Horschel (68) and Dustin Johnson (67).
