For the third straight season, Scottie Scheffler entered the Tour Championship with an inside track to win the FedEx Cup crown. For the first time, he pushed his lead ahead substantially after 18 holes. Scheffler shot the best round of the day to open play at East Lake Golf Club to open a seven-shot lead over Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele.
With a newly restored East Lake Golf Club and a hungry chasing pack nipping at his heels, the season-long race will not be handed to Scheffler. Schauffele entered the Tour Championship as his nearest pursuer with a wealth of experience around this golf course. Whether that translates onto the newest version of East Lake remains to be seen over the next 54 holes, but the two-time major champion is sure to factor in some shape or form.
St. Jude Championship winner Hideki Matsuyama and BMW Championship winner Keegan Bradley rounded out those closest to Scheffler as the tournament began, while Ludvig Åberg started his effort seeking to capture the FedEx Cup in his maiden trip to East Lake. Heavy hitters such as Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark started the tournament on the outskirts of contention.
Meanwhile, former FedEx Cup champions Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas and Billy Horschel have ground to make up if they are to add a second cup to their mantles. Veterans such as Adam Scott, Tommy Fleetwood and Tony Finau still have life but will require massive efforts to track down the world No. 1. Check out the full slate of Tour Championship tee times in Round 2.
