The 52nd edition of THE PLAYERS Championship is underway from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

With two eagles on the front nine and a 9-under 63 in Round 2, Ludvig Åberg surged to the top of the leaderboard at 12-under. Xander Schauffele is two shots behind in solo second after a 65, and Cameron Young is in solo third at 9-under after a Friday 67.

Justin Thomas stayed in contention with his second straight 68. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Rory McIlroy both birdied their closing holes in Round 2 to move just inside the cut line.
