For the second consecutive week, Xander Schauffele, the No. 3 golfer in the world, was sweating out playing into the weekend as he finished on Friday.

Xander Schauffele is likely to extend his PGA Tour-best streak of cuts made to 59 consecutive tournaments, but the two-time major winner was blunt about the state of his game after the second round of The Players Championship on Friday.

Xander Schauffele played in the PGA Tour 's season-opening event, The Sentry. He also initially played alongside his New York Golf Club teammates on the TGL (Tomorrow Golf League). But a rib injury that he took for granted made things worse as time progressed. Before the tournament, he detailed his fear of re-injuring the rib.
