Despite bogeying the 18th for the 2nd straight day, Xander Schauffele maintains his 4-shot lead at the Wells Fargo Championship
Xander Schauffele finished his second round on Friday with his lone bogey of the day, giving back one shot of his lead entering the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. It was the second straight day Schauffele bogeyed the 18th hole, but he retained a four-shot lead after a second-round 67. Rory McIlroy and Jason Day share second place at seven-under-par going into moving day. The Signature Event pays $3.6 million to the winner, who also earns 700 FedExCup points. Defending champion Wyndham Clark stands well out of contention after back-to-back rounds of 73.
