Tommy Fleetwood carded a six-under 64 to open up a four-shot lead before play was suspended in the second round of the St Jude Championship in Memphis due to severe weather.

Having shot 63 in the opening round, the 34-year-old Englishman followed up superbly with seven birdies.

A bogey on the 18th was the only blemish on Fleetwood’s total of 13 under as he put himself in a strong position for a first ever PGA Tour victory.

After hitting a fine 65, two-time major champion Collin Morikawa is at nine under, along with his fellow American Akshay Bhatia in the opening event of the FedExCup play-offs.

World number one Scottie Scheffler is in the clubhouse at seven under after firing 66.

Englishman Harry Hall’s round of 72 left him on four under – a stroke ahead of Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, while 2022 US Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick is at two under after a disappointing 71, which contained five bogeys.
