Overview

  • Tommy Fleetwood’s 7-under 63 tied Russell Henley at 13-under, with Henley closing a 66 with birdie-birdie as Cameron Young sits two back after a 62.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler shot 69 to reach 8-under in sixth, extending his streak to 19 consecutive under-par rounds as he pursues a FedEx Cup repeat and the $10 million first prize.
  • Friday tee times were moved earlier because of forecast storms, with receptive conditions fueling low scoring across the field.
  • Rory McIlroy benefited from a grandstand ricochet to birdie the 18th in Round 1 and sits at 7-under through two rounds alongside Shane Lowry.
  • A single-source online report alleged Scheffler struck his putter into the turf during Round 2; the claim remains unverified.
