Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\nScottie Scheffler fired a 10-under-par 60 to hold the lead after the second round of the PGA Tour Travelers Championship.<\/p>\n
The world number one made 11 birdies and a lone bogey on Friday to move to 16 under at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.<\/p>\n
That put him two shots clear of Norway’s Viktor Hovland, who also threatened a rare round of 59 as he fired a bogey-free 61 which included seven birdies and an eagle.<\/p>\n
Jim Furyk holds the tour-record lowest round at 58, but Scheffler is one of 14 players to have made a 59, which for him came during the 2020 Northern Trust at TPC Boston.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old American had the chance to repeat the feat with a birdie at the 18th hole but missed from just outside 26 feet.<\/p>\n
“It was a little tricky,” Scheffler said. “It actually went right to start, and there was a tonne of break right to left at the end.<\/p>\n
“It was a tough read, but overall it was a really solid day. I was pretty happy with my execution.”<\/p>\n
On his plans for the weekend, the four-time major winner added: “Hard to keep up that pace, but continue to execute, continue to give myself looks.”<\/p>\n
Compatriot Akshay Bhatia sat four shots off the lead in a share of third place having matched his career-low round with a bogey-free 62, with fellow American Eric Cole alongside him after a 65.<\/p>\n
England’s Matt Fitzpatrick lurked two strokes back on 10 under, having had to settle for a four-under 66 after two bogeys on his final three holes, with Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood a single shot further behind and Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre at eight under.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
