Who’s closing the gap

Young’s early charge from the fifth tee propelled him into a three‑way tie at -7, while Gerard and Herbert matched that score shortly after. The -6 tier includes Scheffler, DeChambeau, Aberg and Suber, all still alive in the hunt. Even Fleetwood, five shots back, retains momentum and could be a factor if the leader slips.
