Robert MacIntyre took a commanding five-shot lead at the BMW Championship with a 6-under 64 and a total score of 14-under 126. He began the second round strongly, hitting a birdie on the first hole and maintaining consistency without any bogeys. His performance marks the largest 36-hole lead since 2015. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler managed a 65, remaining in contention at 9-under. MacIntyre expressed confidence in his game and adjustment to the renovated golf course, demonstrating impressive putting ability despite a few missed chances.
""Yesterday the putter was on fire. Today I felt like my iron play was exceptional," MacIntyre said. "Obviously, coming from links golf back out to throwing darts is a bit different technique-wise, turf-wise, so it took a little bit of readjusting, but I've got the hang of it.""
"MacIntyre closed with six straight birdies in the opening round for a 62, and he started the second round with a shot into 5 feet on the 476-yard first hole for another birdie."
"Scheffler spent the steamy afternoon trying to keep in range. He had to settle for six pars at the end for a 65 and was at 9-under 131, at least booking a spot in the final group."
"It was the largest 36-hole lead at the BMW Championship since Jason Day led by five shots in 2015 at Conway Farms. Day went on to win by six."
