The top two players in the world will play at least one more round together this PGA Tour season, as Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will make up the final pair of the first round of the Tour Championship.

With just two PGA Tour events left, the second FedExCup playoff tournament tees off Thursday in Maryland, as the BMW Championship brings together the top 50 golfers in the standings — and with them, plenty of intriguing storylines from the very first round.

The final group is coming down the home stretch and Scottie Scheffler still leads by two as of 5:15 p.m. ET. That lead was cut to one for a brief moment when Scheffler made two bogeys in three holes on Nos. 12 and 14, but he bounced back with a birdie from the fairway bunker on No. 15.
