Scheffler overcomes arrest for 66 but Schauffele leads at PGA

"I've kept myself in the tournament now with a pretty chaotic day. I'm going to focus on getting some rest and recovery and get ready for a grind the last two days."

Third-ranked Schauffele, seeking his first major title, matched the low round in major history with a 62 Thursday and shot 68 Friday to stand on 12-under 130 for 36 holes, clinging to a one-stroke edge over two-time major winner Collin Morikawa, who shot 65, with Sahith Theegala third on 132 after a 67.Scheffler was in a fourth-place pack on 133 alongside fellow Americans Bryson DeChambeau, LIV Golf’s lowest player after a 65, and Mark Hubbard and Belgium’s Thomas Detry.

“I can’t comment on any specifics,” Scheffler said. “But my situation will be handled. It was just a big misunderstanding.” Schauffele sank a 38-foot birdie putt at the par-3 third, began a run of three birdies in four holes at the par-5 seventh and made his lone bogey so far at 11.Morikawa, ranked 13th, made five consecutive birdies, a run from the fourth through eighth holes, before a closing bogey at nine left him on 65 to stand on 131 for 36 holes.
