MacIntyre surged into the lead as the marquee pairing of Scheffler and Rory McIlroy went in different directions

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — One day it was the putter, another day it was the irons. No one had a lower score than Robert MacIntyre both of those rounds at the BMW Championship, and his reward for his 6-under 64 on Friday was a five-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler going into the weekend.

The Scot holed a collection of big par putts and then delivered a 40-foot birdie on the final hole for a 2-under 68 Saturday.
