00:00Xander Schauffele finds his form with excellent second round.

00:05Talk about Xander Schauffele, because the man just dropped an absolute bomb of a round at the Bay Current Classic,

00:11and if you weren't paying attention, it's time to tune in.

00:14After a rollercoaster year, Schauffele shot an 8-under par 63 at Yokohama,

00:19now just four shots behind Max Grazerman.

00:22This is a guy who won two majors last year.

00:24Came into 2025 looking like he had rocket boosters strapped to his bag.

00:29Then, bam, rib injury. Missed two months right out of the gate.

00:34That'll knock the wind out of anyone's sails.

00:36And since coming back? Some bright spots, sure, especially in the majors.

00:41But only three top tens, and for the first time ever, he didn't make it to the Tour Championship.

00:46But let's be honest, golf isn't always a straight line.

00:50And sometimes, life gets a little bigger than birdies and bogeys.

00:54In August, Xander Schauffele became a dad. Cue the happy tears.

00:59Little Victor showed up just in time to give his pops some major perspective.

01:03Dad life kept him out of the Procore Championship, but when it came time to suit up for the Ryder Cup,

01:09he showed up like a boss, 3-1 overall, and he smoked Jon Rahm on Sunday.

01:14Just another reminder.

01:16Schauffele still got that big match gear.

01:18Now we're seeing that form spill into Japan.

01:21Four birdies in a row on holes 3 through 6, plus more on 8 and 13, ending with 17 and 18, circle-circle.

01:29Dialed in off the tee, lights out with the putter, Schauffele mindset is calm, confident, focused.

01:35Thursday, amid Typhoon Halong's fury, he hung in there.

01:38Now he's got 36 holes left to chase down Grazerman, and if he keeps swinging like this,

01:43they're going to hear those footsteps fast.

01:45One thing's for sure.

01:47Xander Schauffele isn't just hoping to get back to elite form.

01:50He's doing it, right in front of our eyes.
