ATLANTA - After opening the second round with a bogey on No. 1, Ryan Gerard (T1/-10) carded six birdies en route to a 5-under (65). He now holds his second career 36-hole lead/co-lead on Tour, the first since the 2023 Barracuda Championship/finished when he finished fifth.

This weekend’s (130), matches his career-low 36-hole score in standard stroke-play events on TOUR (2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open/finished 9th).

Gerard is one of six players making their TOUR Championship debut; would be the first player since Xander Schauffele (2017) to win the TOUR Championship in their tournament debut.

Viktor Hovland (T1/-10) holds his sixth career 36-hole lead/co-lead on TOUR (most recent: 2023 TOUR Championship/Won). He’s 2-for-5 in converting 36-hole lead to victory (2020 Puerto Rico Open, 2023 TOUR Championship).

The 2023 FedExCup Champion is making his seventh consecutive TOUR Championship appearance.
