Scheffler leads by six after storm delay

World number one Scottie Scheffler is on track for his first win this year as he extended his lead to six shots in a storm-affected second round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Friday's play in Texas was held up for more than six hours and and many players did not complete the second round, with 18 yet to tee off.

American Scheffler carded an eight-under-par 63 at TPC Craig Ranch to move to 18 under and set the lowest 36-hole total of his PGA Tour career.

His combined score of 124 after Thursday's 61, is the second-lowest 36-hole total in Tour history after Justin Thomas' 123 at the 2017 Sony Open.

American Sam Stevens is second on 12 under, with the second round due to resume on Saturday, followed by the third round.

Scheffler eagled the 18th after starting on the back nine before play was suspended. When he resumed he added six birdies on the front nine.

"Feeling good," said the Texan. "I've had two nice days. Overall, very pleased with how I played.

"We're on a golf course where you've got to make some birdies, and the conditions today were changing a good amount.

"It's great to be playing at home. This tournament means a lot to me and it's nice to be playing good golf as well."
