Riley avoids big numbers for 67 on tough day at Memorial

DUBLIN (AP) — Davis Riley had a 67 and is atop the leaderboard after one round at the Memorial for the second straight year.

And that’s where the similarities end.

Muirfield Village was hot, dry and a beast.

The average score was the highest for an opening round at the Memorial since 2000.

Rory McIlroy made triple bogey on the last hole for a 72.

It could have been worse. Chad Ramey hit four balls into the water on No. 9 and made a 13, the highest score on any hole in Muirfield Village history.

Jordan Spieth was among those two shot backs.
