Aronimink was even sweeter than the first lap because of a sudden rain. Departure times were increased by four hours, as forecasts provided more showers. Friday's trick, when the average score was 67.33, was to avoid corners that were turning too far back to postpone positions.
Hideki Matsuyama, who started the playoffs at the 76th-ranked FedEx Cup, had a 64 and was in a group of three shots, including Keegan Bradley, Alex Noren and Rickie Fowler. Matsuyama is suddenly in the position to be among the 30 players at East Lake in Atlanta in two weeks for the Tour Championship.
The same goes for Bradley and Noren, a Swede who will make his Ryder Cup debut at the end of the month. Noren took the Eagle in fifth place, ninth for a 66, and Bradley continues to flirt with opponents in these playoffs.
Rory McIlroy (67), FedEx Cup champion Justin Thomas (67) and Jason Day (64) were at 131.
Schauffele, a 24-year-old from San Diego, also needs a good week to travel to East Lake, but he would like to extend his season by an extra week in France at the Ryder Cup. Second in the British Open, he finished 12th in the Ryder Cup standings.
He was rookie last year on the PGA Tour after winning the Tour Championship for his second title. Now, positive results are harder to find. Schauffele stated that his mission was to "just prove to me that I could win again and that I would just hire him".
Furyk used three of his picks Tuesday night on Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson and Woods – our 9, 10 and 11 rankings – and still has a choice after the BMW championship.
Tony Finau is considered the main candidate and he has not hurt his chances. Finau made seven birdies in the round of 16 and is in the last 36 holes five strokes back.
"The possibilities are cool, the potential of what could happen," said Finau. "But nothing good comes to think too far. I've had a few laps in front of me, 36 holes to try to win this tournament. And win wins everything.
