Just as it looked like Scottie Scheffler may lap the field to start the week, the birdies stopped. His final birdie came at the par-4 12th.
It was just about there where his playing partner, Xander Schauffele, began to ramp things up. Xander would close his day with two birdies and an eagle in his final three holes to cut Scheffler’s lead to just two strokes heading into Saturday.
Those two are four shots clear of the rest of the field, and will pair up again for Round 3.
Jon Rahm’s 7-under round was enough to move him into third, but it wasn’t the round of the day, as Max Homa was one shot better with a bogey-free 62.
