Scotland's Robert MacIntyre continued his superb start to the BMW Championship to move five shots clear of Scottie Scheffler at the halfway point of the FedExCup Playoffs event.

Having led Scheffler by three after shooting 62 on a rain-interrupted opening day at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, MacIntyre maintained his form with a superb 64 on Friday to extend his advantage at the top of the leaderboard by two shots.

The Scot completed a bogeyless round with six birdies taking him to 14 under for the tournament, as world No 1 Scheffler carded a 65 to keep in touch at nine under.

MacIntyre, who is on the verge of joining Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose in qualifying for Europe's Ryder Cup team, struck three birdies on each nine in another controlled display.
