Scheffler is five shots behind co-leaders Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley, which is one shot worse than he was after 36 holes last week at the BMW Championship. He won that event by two strokes.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered Friday's second round of the Tour Championship in prime position, but now has work to do if he wants another FedEx Cup.

Tommy Fleetwood is once again atop the leaderboard at a significant event going into the weekend, this as the Englishman continues pursuing his elusive first PGA Tour win. Fleetwood fired a second-round 63 to reach 13 under and take the lead alongside Russell Henley at the midway point of the Tour Championship.
