Jim Souhan: Scheffler says bye-bye with six birdies on day two of the Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. — If Saturday is moving day at a major championship, Friday turned into proving day for Scottie Scheffler.

Tiger Woods looms over the 2022 Masters, and will play the weekend after shooting a second-round 74. Scheffler, the latest successor to Woods atop the world golf rankings, looms atop the leaderboard.

Through six holes of his second round, Scheffler was 1 over par on the day. He birdied the seventh, eighth, 12th, 13th, 15th and 16th holes to shoot a 67, move to 8 under and become the sixth player ever to take a five-shot lead into the weekend. Four of the first five won the tournament. The only one who lost: Harry Cooper in 1936.
