The Swedish star methodically works his way to a 1-under 69 and is at 5-under overall, avoiding big blunders and big numbers on a day of oppressive heat in the North Carolina sand hills that derailed many others. Tiger Woods misses the cut and Scottie Scheffler nearly does.
The former UCLA star begins his second round with an eagle and fires a 65 for a healthy lead over Jason Day, Mackenzie Hughes and Luke List going into a weekend that won’t include Tiger Woods (illness) or Jordan Spieth (disqualified).
