Lawrence rallied from a first-round score of minus-18 under a Modified Stableford system, parred his first five holes at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nev., added his first birdie of the tournament on his second nine and finished minus-1, 17 points better than the first round.

Lawrence began on the back nine of the golf course and parred Nos. 10 through 14 to pick up five quick points. He then double bogeyed the 15th and 16th holes but rallied with a bogey at the par-3 17th and a par at the par-5 18th.
Lawrence played his first four holes of the second nine at 6-over but then birdied the par-3 fifth hole. He didn't finish quite that strong, with three doubles and a bogey at No. 8.
He had the best round of his group. Lawrence beat Saturday Night Live cast member Colin Jost by five points and actor Miles Teller by 14 points. Lawrence also has a better two-round score than Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield (minus-24) and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce (minus-37).

Lawrence's tee time for Sunday's third round was unknown when he finished because other players were still on the course. Tee times and groupings will be determined later on Saturday after all players were finished with their second rounds.
What is the American Century Championship format?
The tournament uses a modified Stableford format that awards points for the outcome of a hole.
10 points: Albatross (3-under on a hole, such as a 2 on a par-5)
8 points: Hole in one.
6 points: Eagle.
3 points: Birdie.
1 point: Par.
0 points: Bogey.
-2 points: Double bogey. Players don't record scores of triple bogey or higher so making a double and the minus-2 points is the worst a player can do on a single hole.
