Scottie Scheffler moves a shot clear at The Sentry; Seamus Power fails to make ground after carding a successive 71

World number one Scottie Scheffler birdied his final hole to move in front of the pack at the second round of The Sentry in Hawaii.

Scheffler shot a nine-under 64 to finish his first 36 holes at the Plantation Course at Kapalua on 16 under.

Tyrrell Hatton posted the low round of the tournament thus far - an 11-under 62 - to reach 15 under along with Brendon Todd and South Korea's Sungjae Im.

Waterford's Seamus Power posted a successive 71 to lie on four under, with a birdie on 15 the highlight of his round.

The Sentry is the season-opening event of the 2024 PGA Tour season, and only the top 50 in last season's FedEx Cup play-offs plus any player who won a tournament were invited to the field. There is no 36-hole cut.

Scheffler got his only bogey of the day out of the way at the par-3 second hole. He immediately bounced back with a birdie and sank a 24-foot eagle putt at the par-five fifth.

"Scores around this place are pretty low, but it's one of those places if yougo out there and play well you're going to get rewarded," Scheffler said. "Ifyou start not hitting it in the right spots, you can get in trouble. Just gotto keep the pedal down out here."

Hatton eagled his final hole in spectacular fashion to polish off his 62, tying his career-low round on the PGA Tour.

The Englishman made four birdies on his front nine before truly heating up. He sank birdies on six of his next eight holes while making his only bogey of the round. At 18, he was just off the green but almost 97 feet away from the pin for his third shot, and his lag putt gained speed just before finding the
