Darron Stiles grabbed a two-stroke lead with a 6-under 64 after the second round of the St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn., where winds gusting to 20 mph for a second straight day played havoc with the dry fairways and hard greens at the TPC at Southwind.

Tim Herron, who won at Colonial last week, shot a 65 and was tied with Tom Pernice (68) and first-round leader Chris Smith (71) at 135.

The cut at 4 over was the highest since this event moved to Memphis in 1989.
