Castle Pines Golf Club: Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama withdrew from the second round of the BMW Championship on Friday with a lower-back injury as Korean duo Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim remained in the top 10 of the leaderboard in the penultimate tournament of the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Matsuyama, who won the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week, had opened his campaign at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado with a 67 on Thursday before being forced to pull out of the US$20 million showpiece.

Australia’s Adam Scott fired a blistering 63 on the site where he made his PGA TOUR debut some 24 years ago to open up a three-shot lead over first-round leader Keegan Bradley (68) with his 13-under total. Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg also shot a 63 for a solo third, four off the pace.
