American Denny McCarthy: Japan's Hideki Matsuyama carded a stellar 6-under 64 to share the second-round lead at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Friday as he chased his first FedExCup Playoffs event victory.

Matsuyama, the bronze medallist at the Paris Olympics, remained in fine form at TPC Southwind in Memphis as he carded seven birdies against a single bogey to reach the halfway mark at 11-under 129. He is tied with American Denny McCarthy, who fired a 63 featuring nine birdies.

Aaron Rai, the Indo-British golfer from Wolverhampton who recently won his maiden title on the PGA Tour, shot 66 to get to 5-under and was T-13, while Indian American golfers, Akshay Bhatia (69-68) at 3-under, and Sahith Theegala (70-69) at 1-under were T-27 and T-42 respectively.
