Overview

  • Robert MacIntyre turned in rounds of 62 and 64 to reach 14-under par, extending his lead to five strokes over Scottie Scheffler after 36 holes.
  • MacIntyre’s surge included six straight birdies to close his opening round and a bogey-free second round on newly softened greens.
  • A two-hour thunderstorm delay at renovated Caves Valley softened fairways and greens, opening the door for exceptionally low scoring.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler carded a bogey-free 65 to climb to 9-under par and remain the only player within five shots of the leader.
  • This week’s BMW Championship will trim the field to the top 30 for the Tour Championship at East Lake; it also serves as the final PGA Tour event to award Ryder Cup points.
