Adam Svensson hit a shot onto a hospitality tent and made birdie Saturday morning to build a two-shot lead in The Players Championship. Rory McIlroy dug a hole he could not escape and missed his first cut since August.
The Players finally finished its second round after storms moved in late Friday and shut down play with half the field unable to finish.
There was a lot of waiting, and Scheffler did what was needed. He had a pair of two-putt birdies on the par 5s on the back nine at the TPC Sawgrass, made sure he found land on the island green at the 17th and capped off a 69. Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa didn't make any gains Saturday morning and finished off a 73. He was three shots behind, along with Ben Griffin, Min Woo Lee and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
He opened with a 76 and was at 6 over for the tournament when he resumed play. He picked up birdies on the par 5s but needed so much more. McIlroy made a bogey of no consequence on the 18th for a 73.He was asked again about the distraction of being such a strong voice in the massive changes being made to the PGA Tour because of Saudi-funded LIV Golf, and McIlroy said he looks forward to being just a golfer again.
