Adam Svensson and South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout were the joint on-course leaders at eight-under on the week
Ben Griffin double-bogeyed the final hole but still held the second-round clubhouse lead at The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., when play was suspended for the day due to inclement weather with Rory McIlroy poised to miss the cut.
The only hiccup of the day for world No. 78 Griffin came at the par-four 18th where he hit a wayward drive and struck a tree with his second shot en route to a closing double-bogey. Ramey was clinging to the lead in conditions made tougher by whipping winds until a disastrous quadruple-bogey at his eighth hole, the par-three 17th, where his first two shots settled in the water instead of safely on the island green.
“I wasn’t swinging my best, but I made two nice birdies toward the end of the round and then obviously the delay will hurt a little, but start back up in the morning,” Scheffler said.World No. 1 Jon Rahm, the pre-tournament favourite who was seeking his fourth win of the season, withdrew from the PGA Tour’s flagship event due to illness ahead of his second round.
The Northern Irishman responded immediately with a birdie and appeared to steady the ship with three consecutive pars but would need to catch fire over his final eight holes to have a chance at making the cut.
