That gave him a two-shot lead over Xander Schauffele and the rest of the field entering the weekend at the PGA Tours marquee event.Schauffele seemed like he was going to be in control early after he went 7-under on the day. Hes got one top-10 finish to his name this season a T7 run at the Genesis Invitational last month and is coming off a T24 outing last week. Both he and berg will head off in the final group on Saturday.The top two golfers in the world have struggled so far outside of Jacksonville.
