DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - Former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel birdied his last two holes to trim Bill Haas' overnight lead to one shot when the weather-delayed second round of the Memorial Tournament was completed on Saturday.

South African Schwartzel, the first-round pacesetter after opening with a sizzling seven-under-par 65, rolled in a 12-footer at the 17th and a four-footer at the 18th to card a 71 on a challenging layout made more receptive by overnight rain.
