Dechambeau leads, van Rooyen ties the course record

American Bryson DeChambeau posted second round 63 and with total score of 11 under par leads after the second day of the 2020 WGC – Mexico Championship. The 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed and South African Erik van Rooyen (pictured) are just a shot behind the leader. The duo shares second place at 10 under par. First round leader Rory McIlroy played the course on two under par in day two and sits sixth at eight under par.

Second round leaderboard:

Bryson DeChambeau’s last PGA Tour title came in 2018 when the American won four times on the PGA Tour. His last title came at the 2018 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Erik van Rooyen will remember his 30th birthday which was yesterday. The South African tied the course record with second round 62. Van Rooyen had a fantastic year on the European Tour. In 2019 the South African won his first title and was part of the historical playoff at the Turkish Airlines Open.

Rory McIlroy had a slow start of his second round and after 11 holes he was one over for the day. Thanks to the three birdies on his last five holes McIlroy returned close to the top. He sits solo sixth and will start the moving day three shots behind the leader.
