Harmon: Scheffler will be hard to beat, he has all the tools

World No 1 Scottie Scheffler will take a five-stroke advantage into the third round of The Masters - and Sky Sports' Butch Harmon says the in-form leader can handle the pressure.

Scheffler has won three times on the PGA Tour since February but is in "unknown territory" atop the leaderboard by such a margin after two rounds of a major.

The 25-year-old fired seven birdies all told on Friday, including four in five holes on the back nine, with his closest challengers now Shane Lowry, Charl Schwartzel, Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im at three under-par.

Harmon said: "He is playing with a tremendous amount of confidence - he probably comes in more confident than anybody in this great tournament.

"He is the best player in the world at the moment and has won three times in the last two months.

"He is not the best driver in the world, he is not the best iron player, not the best pitcher, not the best putter but he is really good in all of those categories. That is why he is No 1 in the world.

"His caddie Ted Scott has already won two Masters titles with Bubba Watson so they have knowledge but there is a lot of golf to play.

"This is unknown territory for him, a new thing - a five-shot lead after two rounds of a major championship. Can he handle the pressure? I think he can.
