SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Brendon Todd birdied his last four holes Friday for an 8-under 63 and a share of the lead with Harry Higgs and Scottie Scheffler after the second round of the inaugural Bermuda Championship. RELATED: Leaderboard | Tee times Todd finished on the front nine at hilly and breezy Port Royal Golf Club, also birdieing Nos. 2 and 4. Higgs shot a 65, closing with a birdie on the par-4 18th. Scheffler, the first-round leader after a 62, had a 69. They were at 11-under 131. “It’s one of the shorter ones we play on the TOUR and it forces everybody to hit the ball with the same clubs off the tee,” Todd said. “The good thing about that for me is, I’m hitting the same clubs into the greens as everybody else and for some reason that tends to work out well in my favor. So, the course is good for me, for my game, and I’ve been swinging well.” Todd won the 2014 AT&T Byron Nelson for his lone PGA TOUR title. He regained his card in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. “Having more full status again this year, the goal really is to get in contention as many times as I can and get another win because that’s the easiest way to keep your card, get back to where I want to be, which is playing in the big events,” Todd said. “I think this is a good opportunity for us to come out here and get in contention and practice a little bit, see what that feels like.” Higgs and Scheffler each won last season on the Korn Ferry Tour. “I didn’t have my best stuff today,” Scheffler said “I didn’t really. My swing didn’t feel too good, didn’t really make a lot of putts, but still shot 2 under. Hung in there pretty well and posted a decent number, so in good position going into the weekend.” Higgs, Bryson DeChambeau’s teammate at SMU, is the only player without a bogey the first two days. “I’ve had a good progression from Latin America to a good year on the Korn Ferry Tour, and now it’s just kind of seeing how my game stacks up,” Higgs said. “I’ve had good enough results to where I think it certainly does. And this will be nice, this is my sixth event, to at least have a decent chance of winning to kind of really see how you stack up, see how well you can think, how well you can manage all the other non-golf stuff.” Aaron Wise (65), Boo Weekley (66) and Wes Roach (69) were a stroke back.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Longtime local resident Jim Furyk, who knows a thing or two about going low, produced his tournament career-low score Friday morning in the second round of THE PLAYERS Championship. Furyk’s 8-under 64 is his lowest score in 80 rounds at THE PLAYERS and left him as the clubhouse leader at 9 under after the morning wave of players finished their rounds. He hit all 14 fairways for the 43rd time in his PGA TOUR career. Kevin Kisner’s second-consecutive 68 and Jason Day’s 66 left them each at 8 under through 36 holes. Furyk is making his 23rd appearance at THE PLAYERS but he didn’t qualify for this event until a tie for ninth at The Honda Classic two weeks ago moved him high enough up the FedExCup points list to make the 144-man field. Until then, he was planning for this week to be an off-week. “A couple players told me there in the locker room that I may get in the field, and I was excited, did my homework, and realized that there was a good chance,â€� said Furyk, who has the only round of 58 in PGA TOUR history and also is one of nine players to shoot 59. “I prepared last week a lot like I was in, and thankful for that opportunity, was able to take advantage of it the last couple days.â€� Furyk, who has lived in the area for 23 years, said he remembers shooting 64 in a non-competition round. “I’m not sure I’ve gotten any lower than that,â€� Furyk said. “Not by memory, put it that way. I think I’d remember a 62 if I shot it.â€� Furyk finished solo second at THE PLAYERS in 2014, his best finish at this event. A year later, Kisner lost in a playoff against Rickie Fowler. And in 2016, Day won THE PLAYERS by four strokes. All three will now have late tee times for Saturday’s third round. First-round co-leader Keegan Bradley fell back after a 1-over 73. The other co-leader, Tommy Fleetwood, had an afternoon tee time.
