Hero World Challenge: Scheffler takes leads after round 2; overnight leader Young suffers major drop

The Hindu  

Scottie Scheffler was in a hurry to assert his supremacy as the second round of the Hero World Challenge got underway under bright skies at the Albany course on Friday. The defending champion notched up seven birdies on the front nine and one more in the 14th to return a card of 8-under-64 and a two-day total of 131 for a two-stroke lead over fellow-Major winner Justin Thomas and the fast-rising Akshay Bhatia. While Thomas, second overnight, played characteristically well for a 67, with five birdies and a dropped shot, it was the debutant Bhatia who caught one’s attention. Leading scores : 131: Scottie Scheffler ; 133: Akshay Bhatia, Justin Thomas ; 135: Keegan Bradley ; 137: Sepp Straka, Sungjae Im, Ludwig Aberg
