2023 Tour Championship Friday Round 2 tee times and pairings explored

Day 1 of the 2023 Tour Championship ended with Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley and Viktor Hovland in the lead. The trio shared the lead at East Lake in Atlanta with scores of -10. Day 2 of the FedEx Cup Playoffs final will tee off at 11:26 am ET with Nick Taylor and Emiliano Grillo at the first tee.

The highlight of the day was Morikawa, who started at -1 and made his way to climb to the top, dethroning early leader Scottie Scheffler. The FedEx Cup standings leader started the day with a two-shot lead. However, the ace golfer crumbled under pressure and slid down to fourth by the end of Round 1.

Morikawa’s 9-under 61, the lowest score of his Tour career, grabbed him the lead, only to later share it with Bradley, who shot 7-under 63 and last week’s BMW Championship Hovland, who shot 2-under 68.
