Scheffler is five shots behind co-leaders Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley, which is one shot worse than he was after 36 holes last week at the BMW Championship. He won that event by two strokes.

The first two rounds at East Lake also gave Fleetwood a career-high aggregate scoring tie, with a total of 127 strokes. It's a mark he achieved just two weeks ago at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he also led after 36 holes.

The PGA Tour has returned to Atlanta and East Lake Golf Club for its season-ending Tour Championship. It's offering a $40 million purse, with $10 million to the winner.

Keegan Bradley is in the hunt for his first FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship, but his mind is elsewhere with the Ryder Cup looming.
