Second round suspended right after Scottie Scheffler makes eagle at CJ Cup Byron Nelson
admin_news
Minutes after Scottie Scheffler eagled his ninth hole in Round 2 of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, play was suspended because of lightning in the area.
Scheffler, who led after an opening, 10-under 61, was stuck on that number following eight pars to begin his second round at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. He then hit his second shot from 233 yards on the par-5 18th — his ninth — to 10 feet and converted the putt.
Storms continue in the area and second-round play remains suspended. https://t.co/7SDehT0OKB— PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) May 2, 2025
The horn blew at 10:46 a.m. EDT. Just before it did, the world No. 1 moved to 12 under, two shots clear of Jhonattan Vegas who was 2 under on the day through seven holes. Patton Kizzire (through 7) and Will Gordon (through 5) are at 9 under.
Jordan Spieth, playing alongside Scheffler, was also 2 under on his round and in a tie for 43rd at 4 under for the tournament. After making double bogey on his third hole, the par-4 12th, Spieth responded with four birdies over his next six holes before the suspension.
Players are using lift, clean and place for the second consecutive day after rain drenched the course Wednesday.
