Adam Scott, chasing a first top ten in seven starts this year, finds himself just one off the halfway lead at the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, the lead held by Tyrrell Hatton, Nate Ashley and Wyndham Clark on what is a very congested leaderboard, just one shot separating nine players.
Scott’s round of 68 on the demanding layout saw him recover from an early bogey and edge towards the lead with three birdies.
With this event being one of the newly introduced designated events Scott was asked his thoughts.
“I think it’s great,” said Scott. “Each week we’ve had exciting golf tournaments coming down the finish with a host of top players and also some guys that are not necessarily household names challenging the top players
“I think they have been exciting events, stacked fields. I certainly have had the sense in the players’ lounge or the locker room it’s like major championship golf. You look around and every big name is here. I think it’s been fantastic so far.”
PGA Tour rookie, Harrison Endycott from Sydney, produced one of the best rounds of the day (66) to recover from an opening round of 74 to be tied for 38th at 2 under and six shots from the pace.
Cameron Davis was the only other Australian to make the weekend, the Sydney golfer at 1 under.
Jason Day appeared safely inside the cutline of 1 under late in his round but he found water at the 17th and took double bogey and was unable to birdie the last and missed by one.
