It’s a star-studded leaderboard with Aberg leading Xander Schauffele by one stroke, and Cameron Young, Justin Thomas and a host of Ryder Cup stars following closely behind.
Among that group is Matt Fitzpatrick, who shot a 69 in his second round to move into the top 10 at five-under par, six shots back of the leading Aberg. It’s a long way to climb back over the weekend, but Fitzpatrick explained why it’s more than possible at TPC Sawgrass. Photo by Jared C.

I think it depends on how you’re feeling, obviously. I don’t think it’s a golf course where you can count on making loads of birdies. It’s not an easy golf course.
It’s a tough test. “Obviously [Ludvig] played unbelievably today, and he’s a fantastic player. It’s in his hands, and the leaders, as it always is.
