When action resumed, Scheffler picked up right where he left off with a birdie on the 1st, as he once again shredded the front nine at TPC Craig Ranch. He backed that up with birdies on Nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7, including a near hole-out as he danced the ball around the cup on the 6th.

Scottie Scheffler remains World No. 1 for a reason. While this PGA Tour season has largely belonged to Rory McIlroy, and his three victories including the Players and the Masters, Scheffler still holds a fairly significant lead over McIlroy in the world rankings.

The World No. 1 followed up his opening round 61 with a almost-as-good 8-under 63 to take a commanding lead, though half the field didn't complete their second rounds.
