Round Summary:

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler took control after the second round of the Hero World Challenge with a spectacular 64 on Friday. The 28-year-old American recorded eight birdies, seven of them on the front nine, finishing the round at 13 under at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas.

“I was just trying to keep my foot down on the pedal,” said Scheffler. “It was good. I did a lot of good things. The front nine was really nice, and then the back nine I felt like I did some good things as well.”

Scheffler holds a two-shot lead over Justin Thomas and Akshay Bhatia, both at 11 under, while Keegan Bradley is in fourth at -9.

Cameron Young, who led after day one, struggled with a second-round 75 and dropped to a share of 10th place.
