Scottie Scheffler's Lead Narrowed to Four Strokes After Collin Morikawa's 63 at East Lake

Posted : 31 August 2024

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler saw his lead in the FedEx Cup standings trimmed to four strokes after Collin Morikawa delivered an impressive 63 during Friday's second round at East Lake. Scheffler, who started the season finale with a 10-under lead, now sits at 21-under following his 5-under 66. Despite beginning the day with a seven-stroke advantage, Scheffler's lead was reduced as Morikawa and Xander Schauffele made significant gains.

 

Scheffler, known for his consistency, made five birdies during his round, though he encountered a hiccup on the par-4 13th, where he found two bunkers and missed a nine-foot par putt. Despite the minor setback, Scheffler was pleased with his performance, expressing confidence in his swing and putting quality, even though he felt some putts narrowly missed the cup. He remains in a strong position heading into the weekend.

 

Collin Morikawa, who reached the turn 4-under, managed to maintain his momentum despite a bogey on the 11th hole. After a storm delay, Morikawa birdied the last two holes, signaling his intent to challenge Scheffler. Morikawa emphasized his focus on sticking to his game plan and maintaining energy as he eyes the top spot, aware of Scheffler's consistent performance throughout the season.

 

Xander Schauffele rebounded from a disappointing opening round to shoot a bogey-free 64, moving within five strokes of Scheffler. Schauffele, who made a birdie on the last hole after the weather delay, acknowledged the need for aggressive play to catch up with Scheffler. Meanwhile, Australian Adam Scott and Americans Sahith Theegala and Wyndham Clark are tied for fourth at 12-under, nine strokes behind Scheffler. Clark remains hopeful, recognizing the challenge but aiming for a strong round to close the gap.
