Scottie Scheffler remains in the lead at the Tour Championship after 36 holes. Let’s look at the tee times for Round 3.
Welcome to Playing Through’s daily ritual — Golf Talk Today.
Two rounds remain until the 2024 FedEx Cup winner emerges. The second round saw a 68.7 scoring average and eight rounds of 67 or better. East Lake played slightly harder, but it did not matter for Scottie Scheffler.
He seemed unstoppable on Friday, hitting fairway after fairway and avoiding massive mistakes.
Scheffler followed up his first-round 6-under 65 with a 5-under 66 and now sits at 21-under overall, having started the tournament at 10-under. Not even a weather delay could slow him down on Friday.
