Wyndham Clark holds a four-shot halfway lead at The Players, where Scottie Scheffler suffered an injury scare and Rory McIlroy failed to build on his strong first round.
US Open champion Wyndham Clark built up a four-shot halfway lead at The Players, where Scottie Scheffler suffered an injury scare and Rory McIlroy failed to build on his strong opening round. Clark, chasing a fourth win in 10 months on the PGA Tour, fired a second successive 65 at TPC Sawgrass to move to 14 under and with a commanding cushion over Xander Schauffele and Nick Taylor.
Clark also birdied the ninth - his final hole of the day - to finish five ahead of the rest of the morning wave, with Fitzpatrick picking up a shot on the same par-five to close a second-round 69 and stay within five of the lead. Schauffele appeared to be slipping out of contention when he triple-bogeyed the par-four 11th, although he bogeyed the next and eagled the 16th to join Nick Taylor within four of the lead.
