Players Championship Leaderboard 2025: Reviewing Top Day 2 Scorecards, Player Stats

Justin Thomas produced one of the most drastic round-to-round swings as you'll ever see on the PGA Tour on Friday.

Thomas rebounded from a first-round 78 by tying the course record at TPC Sawgrass with a second-round 62.

Thomas still has loads of work to do to challenge for the lead. His first round set him back and he is currently seven shots back.

Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa are among the golfers right around the lead held by Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia.

McIlroy and Morikawa enter Saturday's third round just two shots back of the pair of leaders at 11-under.

Justin Thomas' 62 was the story of the day at TPC Sawgrass.

Thomas rolled in 11 birdies during his incredible round, but it finished with one major blemish.

Thomas found the water on the 18th hole and gave a shot back to the course with a bogey to settle for a tie with the course record. A par or birdie on the 18th would have given Thomas the new course record.

Thomas might need another 62 to get into winning contention, though, because his first round was so bad. Friday's incredible performance allowed Thomas to stick around for the weekend.

Low scores were a theme across the course on Friday, especially for some of the leaders.

Min Woo Lee and Akshay Bhatia both carded 66s to finish in a two-way tie for the lead at 11-under. The two leaders combined for 15 birdies. Lee would've had the solo lead after 36 holes if he did not bogey the ninth hole, his final hole of the day.

Only Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Charley Hoffman recorded better second-round scorers than Lee and Bhatia.

Morikawa's seven-under 65 moved him to nine-under for the tournament and into a tie with McIlroy.

McIlroy was poised to be in the tie for the lead until he bogeyed the sixth and ninth holes and dropped back to nine-under.

Two-time reigning Players Championship winner Scottie Scheffler is six shots back of the lead at five-under. Scheffler only produced a two-under 70, but with the way the course played on Friday, there's always a chance he ends up near the top of the leaderboard by Saturday's end.
