Now that the majors are over, Adam Scott is going after the one big prize remaining this year a shot at the $10 million FedEx Cup prize.

Scott ran off four straight birdies in the middle of his round and finished with a tap-in birdie Friday for a 6-under 65 to share the 36-hole lead with Cameron Tringale at The Barclays.

Scott is the defending champion at the first FedEx Cup playoff event. He won last year at Liberty National.

Ryu has large lead in LPGA: So Yeon Ryu used a second straight bogey-free round to pull away at the Canadian Women’s Open.

Ryu shot a 6-under 66 Friday at the London Hunt and Country Club to get to 15 under, the best two-round start in the tournament’s history. She was five strokes ahead of fellow South Korean Na Yeon Choi, playing partner Anna Nordqvist and Danielle Kang.

Wheatcroft at 2-under for tourney: Steve Wheatcroft, a Washington native, shot two-under par in the second round of the Web.com Portland Open in North Plains, Ore.

Carlos Ortiz was the late leader in the second round, which ended too late for this edition.
