Thomas posted a 6-under-par 64, tied for the low round of the day, and Fleetwood shot a 65 to reach 9-under 131 for the tournament. Scheffler, who held a share of the lead after opening with a 62, managed a 69 that included a water ball and a double bogey at No. 17.
The trio was one stroke ahead of Australian Jason Day, who posted his second straight round of 66 to get to 8 under. Austin Eckroat, who was tied with Scheffler through 18 holes, struggled to a 71 Friday to land tied for fifth with Denny McCarthy (64).
