Overview

  • Robert MacIntyre opened with a bogey-free 62 that featured six straight birdies and backed it up with a 64 to reach 14-under after 36 holes.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler carded rounds of 66 and 65 to sit at nine-under, five shots behind the leader.
  • A two-hour rain and lightning delay on Thursday softened the renovated Caves Valley course and contributed to low scoring across both days.
  • Only the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings after Sunday will move on to the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake.
  • The BMW Championship is the final PGA Tour event to earn Ryder Cup points, heightening the stakes for those on the bubble.
