Scheffler and Griffin are two of 10 US Ryder Cup players taking part as they prepare to face Europe in New York from 26-28 September.<\/p>\n
Scheffler stormed from 14th overnight into third with 10 birdies – five on the front nine and five on the back.<\/p>\n
He was denied a share of the lead only after a chip into a bunker on the par-four 14th led to a double bogey.<\/p>\n
Scheffler shot 70 in the first round, which ended his run of 21 successive sub-70 scores, and 68 in the second.<\/p>\n

“There’s definitely some tricks to this golf course, things you’ve got to get used to,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There are things that are hard to notice in the practice rounds. But when you start playing under tournament conditions you start seeing a little of those nuances.”<\/p>\n
US Open champion JJ Spaun and Russell Henley are best placed of the remaining eight Ryder Cup players on nine under.<\/p>\n
Griffin, a captain’s pick who will make his debut at the Ryder Cup, said: “I’ve got to have that chasing mindset as a leader because I know all those guys behind me are going to stay aggressive and I’ve got to do everything I can to stay in front.”<\/p>\n
