Scottie Scheffler, the world's number one golfer, and Rory McIlroy, ranked second globally, have had a disappointing second round at the Memorial Tournament. The two golfers were struggling to find their rhythm on the course and made several costly mistakes, resulting in a lacklustre performance.
According to the official leaderboard, Scheffler and McIlroy are eight shots behind leader JT Poston, who has taken control of the tournament with an impressive display. The American golfer is sitting at 20 under par, while Scheffler and McIlroy are at 12 under par.
Poston's impressive performance has been a surprise to many in the golfing community, but he remains confident about his chances of winning the tournament. 'I'm feeling good about my game,' Poston said in an interview after the round. 'I've been working hard on my short game and it seems to be paying off.'
The Memorial Tournament is one of the most prestigious golfing events, attracting top talent from around the world. The competition is fierce, but Scheffler and McIlroy will need to regroup and come back stronger in the third round if they hope to stay in contention.
