“Believe it or not, hit my fair share of bad shots today. Much like yesterday, I was able to save a couple of good ones. Coming into the weekend, I’m definitely going to have to clean a couple of those mistakes up.”

American Tony Finau bogeyed his final hole but still produced a 64 to move into second place, increasing his chances of securing a top-30 place in the FedEx Cup standings and making it to the Tour Championship as well as the Ryder Cup team.

Fellow American and Olympic gold medalist Xander Schauffele tied the course record of 62 as well as his own personal best after firing five birdies, an unfortunate bogey at the 15th and three eagles at the par-5s 6th and 8th, and the par-4 9th.

Tied alongside him in third place at 10-under are Americans Justin Thomas (69), Keith Mitchell (64) and Kevin Na (66) and Sweden’s Alex Noren (64).

Thomas, who shot 63 in the first round, struggled on Friday starting with four bogeys and a birdie on the back nine to make the turn in 38 before closing with three consecutive birdies from the 5th hole and an eagle at the par-5 8th.

“I had no clubface control,” said Thomas. “I started missing it left, missing it right.

“I was patient. I still wasn’t forcing anything. I know I can make a lot of birdies, that it’s still early in the tournament.”

Mitchell started with a bogey at the 10th before making six back-to-back birdies from the 12th to make the turn in 30 then fired four more birdies on the front nine but was let down by a double bogey at the par-4 7th.

Mitchell is currently ranked 101st in the standings and needs to reach the top 70 to move on to next week’s BMW Championship.
