Great two days' work' for MacIntyre at BMW
The Straits Times
|August 17, 2025
Robert MacIntyre fired a bogey-free six-under 64 to seize a five-stroke lead over top-ranked Scottie Scheffler after the Aug 15 second round of the BMW Championship.
-
The 29-year-old Scotsman, who fired a PGA Tour career-low 62 on Aug 14 as he closed with six straight birdies, birdied six in all for round two to stand on 14-under 126 after 36 holes at Caves Valley in suburban Baltimore.
"Great two days' work," he said. "If you leave yourself in the right positions, you can be aggressive with the putts... I feel like my iron play has been top drawer this week and just continue to do that."
Scheffler, the season points leader, was next on 131 after a 65 in his PGA-best 13th bogey-free round of the season.
"It was nice to have a clean card today, no bogeys," the American world No. 1 said. "Did some good things out there. Five shots back going into the weekend is not too bad with the way Bob is playing right now. Did a good job to keep within shouting distance of him."
