Justin Lower Leads Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Justin Lower maintained a two-shot lead at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship after scoring a second consecutive 6-under-par 65, despite not capitalizing on reachable par 5s. Lower's performance included three early birdies and a strong finish with three consecutive birdies starting at No. 12, but he expressed disappointment over missed opportunities on the par 5s. He is currently at 12-under 130, leading Robby Shelton and Ryan Moore, who both played well but are fighting to secure their PGA Tour cards for the next season. Lower, having already secured his card for next year, aims for victory to gain entry to the Masters and lucrative signature events in 2025. Shelton and Moore's struggles highlight the pressure as they seek to improve their FedExCup standings before the season's end. Play was again suspended due to darkness, with the second round set to conclude on Saturday morning.
