Ryan Gerard and Viktor Hovland share the 36-hole lead at the Tour Championship in Atlanta on Friday, August 28, 2026. Gerard posted a 5-under 65, while Hovland matched him with a 66, both sitting at 10-under 130 going into the weekend. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was two shots behind at 9-under 131, as was Cameron Young who had a stellar 62 in the first round.
Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup tied for third at 9-under 131.
