Streaking Donald leads by three

Luke Donald has shot a sparkling eight-under-par 64 on the first day of the Memorial tournament to take a three-shot lead.

The Briton started his round with a bogey at the first but a run of six birdies in seven holes on the back nine propelled him up the leaderboard ahead of Americans Jim Furyk and Ted Purdy, Australia’s Jason Day and South Africa’s Thomas Aiken, who all carded opening rounds of 67.
