DUBLIN, Ohio -- Paul Casey expected to be chasing someone Friday in the Memorial, figuring it would be Rory McIlroy. After two holes, Casey had the lead to himself at Muirfield Village, and that was only the start of another big day. He took advantage of the par 5s for another 6-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead over Masters champion Bubba Watson going into the weekend. McIlroy, whose 63 was the lowest first round in the 39-year history of the tournament, was barely in the picture. He was 15 shots worse with a 78, courtesy of three straight double bogeys and his fourth straight PGA Tour event with a nine-hole score of 40 or higher. McIlroy went from a three-shot lead to nine shots behind. "To be honest, I thought I was going to be playing a round to try and maybe catch a couple of guys," Casey said. "I woke up checking the scores to see what Rory was going to be. Thats really what I was going to be doing -- see how many under I was going to have to try to shoot to chase. Obviously, that didnt happen." Casey, taking another step on a long road back from injuries that nearly derailed his career, was at 12-under 132. He made his first birdie with his best drive of the day on the par-5 11th, setting up a 4-iron onto the green for a two-putt birdie. He made eagle on the par-5 15th hole for the second straight day, and he stuffed it close around the turn for birdies to start pulling away from the field. Watson gave him a good run in an active round that featured six birdies, five bogeys and an eagle. He only was angry at a few shots where he failed to concentrate. Even so, a bogey-bogey finish wasnt enough to entirely ruin his day. Watson has never finished better than 23rd in eight previous appearances. "I cant look at the bogeys," Watson said. "Ive got to look at where Im at. If you told me its my best two days around this golf course, Id take it." Chris Kirk (70) was four shots behind. Hideki Matsuyama (67) and Martin Flores (68) were five back. Adam Scott, who won Colonial in his debut at No. 1 in the world, shot 70 and was at 5-under 139, still in the mix depending on how Casey fares on the weekend. Phil Mickelson was happy to get in two more rounds. He shot a 70, though he was 10 shots back. Canadian Mike Weir failed to make the cut after an even par 72 on Friday to finish 1-over through two days. Casey, once a Ryder Cup regular who reached as high as No. 3 in the world, is slowly getting his game and his life back in the right place. He endured injuries to his shoulder and his toe that kept him winless for more than two years. He went through a divorce. He wondered if he would ever return to the brand of golf he was capable of playing. Weeks like this offer promise. Casey won the Irish Open a year ago with what he called "spectacular" golf. The game is still there. "Its slowly crawling along and making progress, climbing back up the ladder, however you want to phrase it," Casey said. "Its very difficult when youve played to a certain level and then ... I genuinely had no clue how to play to that level. "Luckily, I didnt think about that too long." His life is back in order. Casey is married to British television presenter Pollyanna Woodward. They are expecting their first child (a boy) in September. He talks about having perspective, knowing where golf fits on his list of whats important. His golf has looked familiar over the last two days. McIlroy could say the same. Except for last week at the BMW PGA Championship in England, which he won with birdies on the last two holes, McIlroys good golf has been stalled by bad patches, and Friday was no exception. In fact, it nearly has become the rule. He shot a 43 on the back nine -- he started the round at No. 10 -- making this the fourth consecutive PGA Tour event where he shot at least 40 over nine holes. All of them have been in the second round. McIlroy twice hit the trees on the 13th hole and made double bogey. He hit into the water on the 14th for double bogey. And then he double-hit a wedge on the 15th to make it three straight double bogeys. "These little runs Im getting on where it gets away from me, I was able to avoid that last week," McIlroy said. "Not so much this week. Even though I had such a bad day, Im still in with a chance depending on what the guys do this afternoon. So going into the weekend, not exactly where I want to be. But it could be worse." Casey simple made it a lot harder. Lonnie Johnson Texans Jersey . "You hate when they score," he said with some distaste at the thought. "You take pride in it.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson offensive co-ordinator Chad Morris had two words of counsel this week for Tajh Boyd: "Have fun." It appears he got the message -- loud and clear. Boyd threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another score, leading the Tigers to a 56-7 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday. The terrific performance made him the second Atlantic Coast Conference quarterback to account for 100 career TDs. "It was a fun game," Boyd said. "I got a lot of chances to smile out there." Boyds return to form was part of a solid day on several fronts for the Tigers, (4-0, 2-0), who have won their first four games for the second time in the QBs three seasons as starter. Clemson figures to be the favourite the next two weeks against Syracuse and Boston College. Then the Tigers host undefeated ACC rival Florida State on Oct. 19. Boyd accounted for five TDs in Clemsons season-opening victory against Georgia, making the quarterback a contender for the Heisman Trophy and stamping the Tigers as a team to watch this season. But Boyd was held without a scoring pass and played less than a half against South Carolina State. Then he looked out of sync in Clemsons previous game, a 26-14 win at North Carolina State. Morris thought Boyd was putting too much pressure on himself, and the quarterback said he just needed to relax to improve his play. "The biggest thing for me is just to go out and enjoy," playing football, Boyd said. "Ive pretty much accomplished everything you can accomplish in a college career, minus a couple of things. But, now Ive got to enjoy this last go-round with my guys." Boyds performance against Wake Forest left him at 102 TDs in college, joining former North Carolina State star Phillip Rivers in the ACCs century club. Boyd passed for 311 yards and ran for 69 to surpass Charlie Whitehurst as Clemsons total offence leader. Morris worked hard to get Clemsons high-speed offence back on track. "This has been a very challenging week for those guys," Morris said. "Just to get into a rhythm, get into a groove and not press." Boyd and the Tigers started fast against Wake Forest (2-3, 0-2). Boyd had touchdown throws of 64 yards to Sammy Watkins, 75 yards to D.J. Howard and 14 yards to Mike Williams as Clemson built a 35-7 halftime lead. Clemsons single-game scoring record ccame in an 82-24 win over Wake Forest during the Tigers national championship season in 1981 -- and they looked as if they planned to better that mark early on in this one.dddddddddddd Clemson scored on its first three possessions, with Boyd ending his mini-slump along the way. He connected with favourite target Watkins to get the scoring started. Zac Brooks added a 10-yard touchdown run before Howard turned a simple swing pass into a second long scoring play that brought Boyd to the century mark. Rivers accounted for 112 touchdowns with the Wolfpack from 2000-03. Wake Forests defence then stepped up, with nose guard Nikita Whitlock sacking Boyd to stall one series and the Demon Deacons sending the Tigers off the field for three straight three-and-outs. But Boyd eventually cranked up the Tigers offence once again. He ended a 67-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run, powering through the line when he was initially stopped on a fourth-and-short leap. Boyds final touchdown pass went to freshman Williams, a sliding 14-yard grab that gave Clemson a 35-7 lead. Williams was in because starter Martavis Bryant was held out the opening half after he made a throat-slash gesture when he scored at North Carolina State on Sept. 19. The Tigers outgained Wake Forest 361-142 over the first 30 minutes. The Demon Deacons lone score came on Tanner Prices 10-yard pass to Sherman Ragland III in the opening period. Price had Wake Forest on the move on its next series until he fumbled on third down at the Clemson 32. The Tigers pulled away from there. "They ran a lot of blitzes on defences that made it tough for us to run a lot of offensive stuff," Price said. "Weve got to make some more plays." Things didnt get much better for Wake Forest in the second half. Boyd was back for Clemsons first series and directed a 10-play, 46-yard drive that finished with tailback C.J. Davidsons first career score. Boyd was off to the sideline after that, smiling and enjoying watching the backups play. The Demon Deacons managed just 80 yards in the second half. Coach Jim Grobe put freshman Tyler Cameron and little-used junior Patrick Thompson in at quarterback for Price. Clemson starting tailback Rod McDowell had just three carries before leaving with an ankle problem. He did not return, although Morris said he could have if the Tigers needed him to play. ' ' '
