McKinney, Texas – Scottie Scheffler’s comfortable lead in the third round in his hometown of CJ Cup Byron Nelson was the same as at the start, even if no top-ranked player showed the advantage in the first 36 holes.
He then discovered the form again and ended after Saturday’s sunset with a greater lead in the under-23.
Scheffler, who was covered by the Birds’ 66 in three of the last five holes, scored an eight-shot lead in five, the last shot of more than 13 after the end of the day, about half of the field needed to complete the second round, including 18 players who didn’t start. Friday’s weather was delayed by six hours.
Erik Van Rooyen (65), Adam Schenk (65) and Ricky Castillo (67) are under 15, and Kurt Kitayama (68) and Jhonattan Vegas (67) have shot again.
Scheffler beat the lowest 36 hole score with 124 strokes (under 18) in the first two bogeys of the match, twice in 13 holes of the day. His six-shot lead after two rounds was Nelson’s record.
On a short 4-14 short five, Schaffler drove the green and settled down and shot his tee 3-15-15, for another bird within four feet.
Scheffler, Castillo and Sam Stevens were still on the fairway at the age of 18, and the trumpets of darkness sounded when they were 18, but they cleared their blows to save time. Players can choose to complete.
Scheffler couldn’t see his second shot after the impact, but it reached green. His biggest 54-hole lead in the PGA Tour has taken two feet from 31 feet since Rory McIlroy’s way to win the 2011 U.S. Open.
Scheffler said of the 18-year-old method: “I saw its will.
Van Rooyen made two shots next to the green on the 18 shots, looking for another birdie that matched about the day, just starting four shots from there.
“Rough is thin, so I think I can kick the ball over it,” Van Rooyen said. “It’s not the first time. That’s also the second death. So I was wrong.”
Schenk missed six straight cuts to Nelson, having a similar feel in his game, and in his 65 games he stopped at the TPC Craig Ranch field in the suburbs of Dallas.
Stevens started the second day after Scheffler, the only remaining player without bogey when he had four holes. The people near Fort Worth are one of five players under the age of 70 and under the age of 13. The group includes Antoine Rozner, who played very low at the age of 63.
Jordan Spieth, a Dallas resident of Scheffler and a former University of Texas Golfer, scored a second straight 67 and was under the age of 10. He was the first of the two to debut in Nelson when he fought for Sunday at the age of 16 in 2010.
Scheffler’s first appearance is four years later, which will require a lot of activities instead of being the first good friend to win their favorite activities. Since Scott Verplank in 2007, he will be the first golfer to win Nelson from Dallas.
“I mean, I just walked out of the golf course,” Schaffler said in a later interview. “Tomorrow is not really a matter of concern now.”
It will be his 14th final round of the tour, taking the lead over the past five seasons, twice as many as any other golfer to span.
Scheffler’s first bogey came on the fourth hole of par-3 when he missed a 7-foot PAR when he missed his tee. The two Masters champions missed five fairways after missing six games in the first two rounds.
“I’m certainly not as sharp as the last two days, but overall, I’ve scored very well,” Schefler said. “In the 72-hole tournament, you’ll have a few days, or usually at least one day, your swing doesn’t fire all the cylinders like you did the previous two days. It’s all about how you fight.”
