Scottie Scheffler remains atop the leaderboard as the 2022 Tour Championship heads into the weekend. Beginning the week at 10 under with a two-stroke lead on the field, the world No. 1 has climbed his way to 19 under for the tournament … although his lead remains at two entering the final 36 holes at East Lake Golf Club.
Xander Schauffele is the man who has been the biggest thorn in Scheffler’s side. The Olympic gold medalist finished in tremendous fashion Friday with a stellar 63. A three-time winner this season, Schauffele has made his way to the second spot on the leaderboard courtesy of a 36-hole total of 11 under, the best of all competitors in the field. Schauffele has finished no worse than T7 in his five previous appearances in the Tour Championship and has eyes to add another quality result to his résumé at East Lake. While the two Americans hold a substantial edge over the rest of the field, if they are to slip up, both Jon Rahm and Patrick Cantlay are positioned to capitalize on their misfortunes.
