Scottie Scheffler keeps it rolling at 2024 Hero World Challenge as Akshay Bhatia crashes veteran-laden leaderboard

The 20-man field at the 2024 Hero World Challenge features eight first-timers in the Bahamas. It’s also chock full of PGA Tour vets and it’s the more experienced guys filling the three of the top four spots on the leaderboard after 36 holes.

Scottie Scheffler leads by two with 36 to go, his second-round 64 sparked by six birdies on his first seven holes.

Giving chase early in the second round were two of the game’s young guns: Akshay Bhatia and Ludvig Aberg, two of those eight first-timers at Albany.
