The field has been cut and two players sit tied atop the leaderboard as the Memorial Tournament opens its third day of competition.

Ben Griffin finished the second day right where he finished the first: 7 shots under par and in first place. After the second round, however, he's got company, as Nick Taylor's strong second day pulled him even atop the leaderboard with Griffin. Taylor is vying to become the first-ever Canadian golfer to win the tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Other familiar names are lurking near the top. You can catch up on who made the cut and who didn't by clicking here.

Who is the 2025 Memorial Tournament Honoree?

Barbara Nicklaus, the "first lady of golf" is the 2025 Memorial Tournament honoree. The wife of Jack Nicklaus is the first non-golfer among 84 prior recipients.

“The Memorial Tournament has held such a special place in our family’s life,” she said last June when the honor was announced. “It’s been wonderful to walk side-by-side with Jack and to watch his dream become our reality over the years. Looking back at the list of those who have been honored since 1976, I can’t express how humbled I am to join this elite group that I have looked up to and respected for so long.”

Born Barbara Jean Bash, she graduated from North High in 1957 and studied nursing at OSU. She met Jack during their first week on Ohio State's campus as freshmen and were married July 23, 1960. Five years later, the couple moved to North Palm Beach, Florida, where they raised five children: Jack II, Steve, Nan, Gary and Michael.Among other honors, Barbara has received the 2015 Bob Jones Award, given by the United States Golf Association, and the 2019 PGA of America Distinguished Service Award.
