In summary<\/p>\n
Ryan Gerard and Viktor Hovland share the halfway lead at 10-under after rounds of 65 and 66 at East Lake.
\nAdam Scott, 46, sits three shots back in a tie for seventh following a bogey-free 67, while Min Woo Lee slips to five behind after a triple-bogey 73.
\nCameron Young matched Lee’s opening 62 with a second 62 of his own to rocket from last to equal fifth, as Scottie Scheffler climbs to eight-under.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old Scott continued his vintage form with a second-round three-under-par 67 to climb into a tie for seventh at the $US40 million showpiece at East Lake.<\/p>\n
A winner of the grand season finale 20 years ago, Scott will enter the weekend just three shots behind halfway pacesetters Ryan Gerard and Viktor Hovland after a tidy bogey-free round.<\/p>\n
Scott will also start moving day with momentum after collecting his third birdie of round two on his very last hole.<\/p>\n
Lee, though, will be eager to put his second round behind him as the 28-year-old strives to reignite his bid to become the first Tour Championship debutant since Xander Schauffele in 2017 to pocket the monster $US10 million winner’s cheque.<\/p>\n
After matching his career low round with a masterful 62 on Thursday, Lee stumbled with a horror triple-bogey seven on the par-4 fifth hole.<\/p>\n
After spraying his drive into the right rough, the Australian No.1 needed two more shots to find the fairway, then three-putted to suddenly slip from eight to five-under and back in the chasing pack.<\/p>\n
Lee rebounded with his first birdie of the day on the next hole, only to drop two more strokes, before signing for a three-over 73.<\/p>\n
He is still in the mix at four-under, but will start the third round five shots behind, after being two in front before Friday’s slip-up.<\/p>\n
Cameron Young fired the day’s low round, matching Lee’s opening 62, to rocket from equal last to equal fifth.<\/p>\n
“The field seems to be playing pretty well for even-par being last place after yesterday,” said the reigning Players’ champion.<\/p>\n
“I looked up and I was 2-over, and everybody was under par, and I was kinda contemplating my life choices a little bit.”<\/p>\n
