Xander Schauffele holds a two-shot lead in the 2018 BMW Championship after shooting a six-under 64 in Friday's second round at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

Schauffele, who carded an equally impressive 63 in Round 1, stands at 13 under overall. Justin Rose is two strokes off the pace at 11 under, while Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley and Alex Noren are tied for third at 10 under through 36 holes.

Rory McIlroy (-9) and Tiger Woods (-8), the co-leaders following Thursday at 8 under, couldn't match their opening-round success, but remain in the hunt in the FedEx Cup Playoffs' penultimate tournament.
