The team competition has also been heating up, with 4Aces GC maintaining a commanding five-stroke lead. This was attributed to consistent performances from the entire team; Johnson’s teammates include Pieters, who shot 67, Varner III at 70, and Reed, who contributed at 73. Their total score after Round 2 stands at 20 under.

Phil Mickelson’s HyFlyers GC sits firmly at second, with scores from Tringale, Steele, and Mickelson himself contributing greatly to their total of 15 under. Mickelson managed to shoot 68, keeping his team firmly in contention.
