A new group of players has risen to the top of the leaderboard for the 2025 Hero World Challenge. Akshay Bhatia is joined by Hideki Matsuyama and Wyndham Clifton, J.J. Spaun, Cameron Young, who are all at 10 under par at Albany Golf Club, Bahamas. This is as world no. Scottie Schaffler stumbled a little with a double-bogey at No. Due to a misplaced drive on No. 16, he dropped from 11 under par to 9-under, where he finished.Scheffler added, “I always think that playing well can give you good momentum.” “I wouldn’t think too much about it if I had a bad week this week. I wouldn’t really try and carry that momentum further.” Overall, I think it’s an excellent place to see how my game is and prepare for the new season. It feels like a warm-up event.”
Young, Scheffler’s Ryder Cup Teammate, was the most impressive of all. He followed up a first-round 70 with a second round 64, the lowest among the 20 players of Round 2. The right-handed right-hander, known for his powerful swing, had a smooth start to the round before finding an extra gear as he approached the turn. 12-17 in 6 under. Young would have scored a lower score on his second 9 if it weren’t for a bogey.”Made some putts later, but I thought we played very well, and I told Kyle yesterday that I thought it was one of those courses, where I felt comfortable shooting 4, 5, 6 below, and scoring made it 2 [under] Young said that he felt bad yesterday. “But, in reality, there are days where you can play a few holes and feel like it is easy. It’s no different than yesterday. I think I played very similarly, and I just made some putts in the last few holes.”Young’s co-leader Clark said he had not putted very well in the first two rounds. The statistics confirm his opinion as he is 16th among 20 players who have the putter. Spaun, another co-leader, is last in the field. The current U.S. Open champ could be dangerous if he can figure out how to use the putter.
