FORT WORTH, Texas>> Ben Griffin could be on the verge of a breakthrough season on the PGA Tour. It’s more like a possible comeback for Rickie Fowler.

Griffin shot a 7-under 63 in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial on Friday and was tied with Matti Schmid for the second-round lead at 11 under, two strokes ahead of first-round leader John Pak and five ahead of Fowler, who made the turn in 29 before settling for a 64.

Pak, the tour rookie who opened with a 63, birdied the par-4 18th for a 68 and was a shot ahead of Chris Gotterup, a one-time tour winner like Griffin. Gotterup was 8 under after a 65. Ryo Hisatsune, a 22-year-old from Japan, was another stroke back after a 67, tied with Akshay Bhatia (66).

Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship last weekend, shot 71 and was 10 shots off the lead as the world No. 1 tries to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three consecutive starts.

Scheffler’s run started with a runaway three weeks ago, an eight-shot win at the first of his two hometown events, the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in McKinney.

It was close, but Scheffler made the cut with a shot to spare, which extended his streak to 55, second to Xander Schauffele’s 64.

Both of Scheffler’s playing partners missed the cut, including Davis Riley. The defending champion shot 69 while Daniel Berger, one of the eight top-25 players in the field, made an 83-foot putt from just off the green for birdie on the par-3 fourth hole in a round of 70. Both were at 2-over 142.

A month removed from teaming with Andrew Novak to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Griffin made eight birdies — seven from inside 10 feet — and saved par with a 12-foot putt from the fringe after his only bogey.

Vijay Singh tied for lead in Senior PGA Championship>> Vijay Singh looked perfectly healthy surging to the top of the leaderboard at the halfway mark of the Senior PGA Championship.

The former top-ranked player who missed the Masters and the PGA Championship because of an undisclosed injury shot a 4-under 68 in the second round for a share of the lead with Cameron Percy and Y.E. Yang at 6 under.

Singh, the 62-year-old from Fiji, bogeyed the first three holes Friday at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., before bouncing back with birdies on seven of the next 13.

Bae birdies last hole for 36-hole lead>> Jenny Bae is trying to soak up the scenery at Mayakoba and the best view might be the top of the leaderboard. Bae birdied her last hole for another 69 to take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the Mexico Riviera Maya Open in Playa del Carmen.

She leads over Miranda Wang and Brianna Do. Wang had a bogey-free 65 for the best round of the tournament thus far. Do was the only player to reach 8 under for the tournament until a bogey-double bogey finish made her settle for a 71. Bae is a rookie on the LPGA Tour.
