CASTLE ROCK, Colo.
— Adam Scott kept making birdies and changing his outlook on the season until he finished with his lowest score of the year, a 9-under 63 on Friday in the BMW Championship that gave him a three-shot lead going into the weekend.
Having the 36-hole lead is a bargain. A top finish would get him back to East Lake for the Tour Championship and assure him playing all the majors next year. Rory McIlroy — 10 shots back after a 71 — was so frustrated he tossed his 3-wood after a poor drive on the 17th and watched it bounce into the water. Denny McCarthy was doing what he needed to get into the top 30 who advance to East Lake until a double bogey on two of the last five holes.
Schauffele also opened with two birdies and was 3 under for his round until making four bogeys over his last six holes for a 73. He was 11 shots behind. “It was funny walking down one of the first couple of holes. We talked about it yesterday, too, that we could see a low one,” Aberg said. “We were just fortunate that it was us today.”
