Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler matched the tournament record he already shared with an eight-under 62 to grab the lead in the darkness-halted second round of the PGA Tour's Houston Open on March 28.

'Pretty good' Scheffler ties own mark of 62 to lead

The 28-year-old American had eight birdies in his second bogey-free round to seize the clubhouse lead at 11-under 129 for 36 holes at Memorial Park.

"It felt pretty good. Hit a lot of fairways out there, gave myself a lot of looks. I holed a good amount of putts, holed a few long ones, which is always nice," Scheffler said.

Canada's Taylor Pendrith was second in the clubhouse on 130 after back-to-back 65s.

Scheffler and countryman Tony Finau have both fired the course-record 62 at Memorial Park, Scheffler also in the 2021 second round and Finau in second rounds in 2022 and 2024.
