Bogey-free Scheffler level with Stallings, Hossler | Thomas misses cut

Scottie Scheffler is the only player still bogey-free after 36 holes of the Charles Schwab Challenge, firing a 65 to share the second-round lead with Scott Stallings and Beau Hossler.

The world no 1 was five under par, having been one of eight co-leaders after day one at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

Stallings shot a 64, tying for the lowest round of the day, and Hossler also signed for a 65 to move into the leading pack.

Patrick Reed is alone in fourth place at eight under after his second straight round of 66, with Pat Perez (66) and Chris Kirk (67) tied for fifth at seven under.

"I love that (bogey-free) stat. It's a lot of fun," Scheffler said. "I kept the stress off myself for the most part.

"My lag putting was really good, and the only long par putt I made was on No 7. Outside of that, I really didn't put much stress on myself, which is good."

The Masters champion made two of his five birdies on the first two holes and drained a nearly 25-foot, right-to-left putt for birdie at the par-four 12th.

Stallings posted six birdies and no bogeys to shoot his 64, with four of those birdies coming on the back nine, including one on a 29-foot putt at the 18th.

"My caddie has done an unbelievable job of reading the greens all week and I rely on him a lot," Stallings said.

"He said 'Man, it's going to break late' and I spit it out there and he was right - it went right in the middle."

Hossler, who holed out for two eagles during Thursday's opening round, enjoyed a simpler round of five birdies and no bogeys.

"I hadn't holed out in I don't know how long, but to have two within an hour was pretty unique," Hossler said.

"Certainly yesterday was more of an up-and-down round. Today felt never really stress-free, but
