Martin Kaymer, Troy Merritt and Kyoung-hoon Lee co-lead the Memorial Tournament at 9 under par. Here's where things stand through 36 holes at Murifield Village, where a host of big names are chasing the leaders.Leaderboard: Merritt (-9), Lee (-9), Kaymer (-9), Spieth (-8), Bud Cauley (-7), Patrick Cantlay (-7), Emilinao Grillo (-7), Adam Scott (-7), Rickie Fowler (-7), Xander Schauffele (-7)What it means: Kaymer is the most overlooked player with the best on-paper resume. He's the former world No. 1 who has in his career won the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, The Players Championship and sunk the clinching putt at aRyder Cup. He is in search of his first worldwide victory in five years, since 2014 at Pinehurst. His five-year PGA Tour exemption is set to run out at the end of this season, but Kaymer, currently 198th in the FedExCup standings, could fix that with a win this week. Merritt is a two-time Tour winner eyeing the biggest victory of his career as he works his way back from a rib removal in January. Lee is a four-time winner in Japan and Korea playing his rookie year on the PGA Tour after graduating from the Web.com last year. One back, Spieth is coming off a disappointing final round last week at Colonial and once again showing signs that he's ready to end his nearly two-year drought.
