Davis Riley surged into the lead at the US PGA Tour's Charles Schwab Challenge with a stellar six-under-par 64, showcasing his prowess with six birdies. Despite facing a par putt at his final hole just before a thunderstorm delay, Riley remained composed, describing his putt as a "pretty stress-free" finish to his round. His performance put him at 10-under and positioned him two shots ahead of the competition.
Hayden Buckley and Pierceson Coody emerged as closest challengers, both posting solid five-under 65s to sit tied for second, just two shots behind Riley. Coody's impressive round included an eagle and a strong finish with three consecutive birdies, while Buckley displayed resilience returning from the delay to card his fifth birdie of the day.
Meanwhile, World No 1 Scottie Scheffler bounced back from a challenging opening round with a remarkable five-under-par 65, featuring a streak of four consecutive birdies. Scheffler's resurgence follows a tumultuous week after his arrest in a traffic incident, as he strives to maintain his impressive form amidst off-course distractions and legal proceedings.
