The 50th anniversary of The Memorial Tournament has reached the halfway stage. Thus far, Muirfield Village Golf Club has given PGA Tour players all they can handle.
Through 36 holes, only 11 players are in red figures. Red hot Ben Griffin and Nick Taylor lead at 7-under par. Some of the world’s best are a few back, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, whose putter let him down Friday.
On the other end of the spectrum were some stars who missed the cut at Jack Nicklaus’ hosted Signature Event. But not everyone got 36 holes in.
Brian Campbell was forced to withdraw during Friday’s second round of the Memorial. He pulled out due to a shoulder injury, according to the PGA Tour Communications department.

Campbell signed for a 7-over 79 during Thursday’s opening round at Muirfield Village. So, he already needed a strong second 18 to reach the weekend anyway. Instead, he continued to struggle.
Prior to withdrawing, the PGA Tour winner was 7-over for his round through 14 holes, including three double bogeys. Alas, he got an early jump making travel plans.
Campbell has had a very interesting 2025 season on the PGA Tour. He won the first event of his professional career at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld in a playoff.
But since that time, Campbell has reverted back to the form most golf fans have become accustomed to seeing.
As he entered the Memorial, he had only made seven of 14 cuts this year. Outside of his win in Mexico, his best finish was tied for 32nd. He accomplished that in back-to-back weeks at the Masters and RBC Heritage.
Campbell finished tied for 55th at the season’s second major, the PGA Championship.
It is unknown at this point how serious the shoulder injury is, or whether he will play in next week’s RBC Canadian Open. That field is yet to be announced.
