Fleetwood, Henley Share 36-Hole Lead at Tour Championship as Scheffler Trails by Five

Soft, rain‑soaked conditions with preferred lies have packed the field in a level‑start race for the FedEx Cup’s $10 million first prize.

Overview

  • Tommy Fleetwood shot a 7-under 63 with eight birdies to reach 13-under, and Russell Henley closed birdie-birdie for a 66 to tie him at the top.
  • Cameron Young posted a 62 to sit two shots back at 11-under, with Patrick Cantlay and Robert MacIntyre at 10-under after 66s.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler carded a 69 to reach 8-under, extending his streak of consecutive sub-par rounds to 19 but leaving him five behind in sixth.
  • Heavy rain left East Lake soft and under preferred-lies rules, producing unusually low scores and a compressed leaderboard, with tee times moved earlier to avoid storms.
  • An online outlet published an unconfirmed report alleging Scheffler struck the turf with his putter in Round 2, a claim not corroborated by major outlets and described as developing.
