World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler might be sitting on the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history, but Shane Lowry doesn’t plan to fit him for a green jacket just yet.

Scheffler finished late with a 67 to push ahead at 8-under par 136 and open a five-shot lead, but Ireland’s Lowry rode his own Friday 68 to a share of second place heading into the weekend at Augusta National.
