Hovland’s 66-64\u2012130 total equals Gerard’s 65-65\u2012130.<\/p>\n Ryan Gerard posts second straight 65 to take the lead<\/p>\n Gerard was probably not on anyone’s board to win this week but he’s the first to double digits under par after a second consecutive 65 on Friday at East Lake. He opened with a bogey but was 6 under over the remaining 17 holes.<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler birdies 18, pulls within one 1 shot<\/p>\n Scheffler rebounded from a bogey on 17 to birdie 18 and sign for 3-under 67.

Playing solo after the Thursday WD of J.J. Spaun, Young even did a phantom handshake on the 18th green.<\/p>\n Young played in 3 hours, 16 minutes to shoot 62, the second 62 of the week after Min Woo Lee did it Thursday.<\/p>\n “Once you kind of get over the fact that they just announced one person on the 1st hole, it’s kind of more like a practice round. We play a lot of practice rounds just on my own. I felt like, especially with it going well, it was really easy to keep going,” Young said.<\/p>\n Hideki Matsuyama with some bunker magic Cameron Young is 5 under so far Friday<\/p>\n Young fired an even-par 70, one of only the golfers to not break par in the opening round but so far on Friday he’s getting it done as he’s 5 under through eight holes to get 5 under overall and into a tie for fifth.<\/p>\n 2026 Tour Championship tee times<\/p>\n You can see all the starting times for the second round here<\/a>.
