Svensson leads Scheffler by 2 after 36 holes at TPC Sawgrass
Adam Svensson carded a 5-under 67 to lead The Players Championship by two strokes over World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler following Round 2.
The second round was suspended by weather Friday before resuming early Saturday morning.
The interruption didn't seem to bother Svensson, who picked up right where he left off. The 29-year-old Canadian went 2-under in his final six holes, including a birdie at No. 9 to end his round on a high note despite his approach finding the hospitality tent.
Scheffler came on strong Saturday morning, making a pair of birdies and no bogeys in his final eight holes.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who co-led with Svensson after play was halted Friday, couldn't keep the momentum going Saturday, making a pair of bogeys to fall three strokes off the leader's pace.
