(CNN) — A second consecutive round of 66 fired Paul Casey to the top of the Memorial Tournament leaderboard in Dublin, Ohio, Friday after overnight leader Rory McIlroy fell away.
Casey shot six birdies and an eagle, which more than canceled out bogies on holes nine and 17, to finish the day on 12-under-par.
The Englishman now sits three shots ahead of Masters champion Bubba Watson going into the weekend.
“I had very good control of the irons today,” Casey told the PGA Tour website upon reaching the clubhouse.
“The driving was still good again but I was ecstatic with the way I played. There was a couple of mistakes in there. But that’s Muirfield Village. It’s a tricky golf course and you don’t need to do a lot wrong to make a mistake.”
