Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Justin Lower added a second 6-under 65 without taking advantage of the par 5s, giving him a two-shot lead going into the weekend at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. The wind and squalls of rain at Port Royal meant the round did not finish before dark for the second straight day on Friday.

Lower, coming off a runner-up finish last week in Mexico, opened with three birdies in five holes and seized control with three straight birdies starting at No. 12 with a 6-foot putt. He was at 12-under 130, two shots ahead of Robby Shelton (64) and Ryan Moore (65).

Lower is currently 74th in the FedExCup standings. The top 125 after The RSM Classic will earn their 2025 PGA TOUR cards. A victory for Lower would get him into the Masters and the first two $20 million Signature Events in 2025.
