WILMINGTON, Del. – Adam Scott, the 36-hole leader of the BMW Championship, couldn’t remember the last time he held a lead on the PGA Tour.
The 42-year-old racked his brain to recall the answer, which is the 2020 Genesis Invitational when he shared the 54-hole lead and went on to claim his 14th and most recent Tour title. His last 36-hole lead? At the 2019 Masters. But Scott said back at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last month when he was in contention after 36 holes that it feels like it’s been a long time since he’s been in the winner’s circle and he reiterated that point on Friday after shooting 2-under 69 at Wilmington Country Club’s South Course to improve to 8-under 142 at the halfway point of the penultimate event of the PGA Tour season.
