  "account": "Viktor Hovland and Ryan Gerard are currently tied for the lead at the Tour Championship in Atlanta, both sitting at 10 under par. Hovland, a former FedEx Cup champion in 2023, made a crucial birdie on the final hole, shooting a four-under 66. Gerard had started the day with a five-under 65. Morikawa and Gotterup are joint-second with nine under, while Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, is just two shots behind after a 67. Cameron Young, who won the Players Championship in March, is eight under after a round of 62, including seven birdies and an eagle. Additionally, Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick are in contention, three strokes back at seven under. Rose had an impressive 65 without any bogeys, while Rory McIlroy's round was less successful, ending two-over after finding the green and missing chips. Robert MacIntyre, from Scotland, also struggled with a six-over 76, one of only three players to finish their second round over par.",
