There’s no stopping Robert MacIntyre so far at the 2025 BMW Championship.
The Scottish lefthander backed up his first round 62 at the PGA Tour’s second FedEx Cup playoff event with a 64 in Friday’ second round at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland. MacIntyre finished Thursday with a six-birdie flourish and then birdied his first hole in Round 2. He sits at 14-under for the tournament after 36 holes and will enter the weekend with a five-shot lead over tournament favorite and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (-9), who holds sole possession of second place after two rounds.
Ludvig Aberg (-8) and Hideki Matsuyama (-7) are also in contention ahead of Saturday’s third round after matching MacIntyre’s 6-under 64 for Round 2. Only the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings after Sunday’s final round qualify for The Tour Championship.
