Strong East Lake Start Puts Scheffler in Contention
Scheffler followed his opening bogey-free 65 with a 3-under 67, reaching 8-under and staying within roughly two shots of the leaders. A precise 117-yard approach on No. 8 produced a 19-inch birdie, reinforcing that his iron play remains sharp after the illness-affected BMW Championship; Cameron Young's 62 and Rory McIlroy's struggles have shaped the leaderboard.
