China’s Zhang soars on eagles’ wings at the Memorial

Washington: China’s Zhang Xinjun showed a welcome return to form by firing two eagles for a four-under 68 in the second which propelled him to a tied 15th place at the Memorial Tournament.

Starting his round from the 10th hole, the 33-year-old Zhang brilliantly sank a seven iron approach from 194 yards on the par-four 17th hole at Muirfield Village and then found the bottom of the cup with his third shot from the greenside bunker on the par-five 7th hole for his second eagle of the day.
