by

NORTH BERWICK – One day after his career-best (61), Cameron Tringale maintained a three-shot lead following a 2-over (72). Tringale holds his third second-round lead/co-lead on the PGA Tour but is 0-for-2 converting.

Two of the last three winners on Tour turned in the best rounds of the day on Friday, highlighted by Travelers Championship winner Xander Schauffele(65) and U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick (66).

With his ace on the par-3 17th hole, Jordan Smith won a Genesis GV70 while his caddie, Sam Matton, was gifted a GV60 from the tournament sponsor.

World No. 1 and FedExCup leader Scottie Scheffler missed the cut with rounds of 73-72. Also, a week prior to defending his title at The Open Championship, Collin Morikawa missed the cut with rounds of 71-74. Additional notables to miss the cut: included defending champion Min Woo Lee, Justin Thomas, Will Zalatoris, Hideki Matsuyama, and Viktor Hovland.
