Scheffler 'glad to be close to the lead' after strong second round

Scottie Scheffler likes his positioning as he rises up to T5 on the leaderboard, three shots off the lead

Transcript

00:00I like the position that I'm in going into the weekend.

00:03I obviously wish I was a little bit further up the leaderboard, but overall,

00:05I felt like I got a lot out of my game the last couple of days.

00:07And, you know, I felt like as the round went on,

00:09my swing continued to get better and was able to hit some key shots down the

00:12stretch to give myself some opportunities.

00:14And yeah, looking forward to the weekend.

00:17I think most of me is just glad to be close to the lead.

00:20I mean, if you're gonna play a 72-hole golf tournament,

00:22there's gonna be days and stretches of golf where you're not swinging at your

00:25best. And, you know, over the course of a tournament this long,

00:29and on a major championship set up, there's gonna be, like I said,

00:33some bumps in the road.

00:33And so it's all about how you respond to those.

00:35And I did a good job of responding to those mistakes today and

00:38keep myself in the tournament.
