Scottie Scheffler grows in eight-stroke in the dark at CJ Cup Byron Nelson
The scheffler scheffler of the highest rank made a final bird in the dark to capture an eight -stroke lead after Saturday’s third round at the CJ of PGA Tour Byron Nelson.
The 28-year-old from Dallas near Zogrioi three of the first five holes and three of the last five holes to light one five under 66 and stayed on the 23rd of the 190 after 54 holes in the TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
“It was good golf. I did a good job to overcome it,” villain said “I was definitely not as sharp as I was the last two days, but generally I posted a pretty good result and on a 72 -holes tour you will have at least one day where your swing is not resting on all cylinders.
“It’s about how you fight through this. Today I did a good job. We hope to do a little better tomorrow.”
Thunderstorms Friday pushed the end of the second round to noon on Saturday and left Scheffler and others in the latest Racing Darkness groups to end up in twilight gloom to avoid an early waking call on Sunday.
“We would go back very early in the morning,” Scheffler said. “Even if I finished 18 it would cost me a blow, I think it would have spared me a stroke tomorrow based on energy and didn’t need to go out here early and wait five hours or more to give up.
“Once they gave us the progress to end, I was obviously very worried to finish.”
In the 18th hole of the 18th, Scheffler exploded his second shot 221 yard in the dark, unable to follow him by descending 31 meters from the hole. He put him inside the hole in the hole and entered his bird shooting.
“I couldn’t see very well, but finished in the dark many times growing up, so it wasn’t that great for a deal,” Said Scheffler. “The most challenging part I would say was to read a green in the dark.”
Scheffler said he wondered how they would end when they reached the third thesis and two groups were waiting in front of them.
“Once we were in the nine rear, I felt we were going to end,” said Scheffler. “I’m a kind of optimistic when it comes to such things. I knew they would do everything they could to take us around.”
Scheffler has converted eight out of 14 PGA Tour with 54 holes in titles, including in his four past chances, recently in last year’s Tour championship.
The biggest lead since Rory
Scheffler, who won nine times last year but has not received a title this year, is the first player to run a PGA Tour event with at least eight holes after 54 holes since Rory Mcilroy did this on his way to win his first big title at US 2011 at the Congress Country Club near Washington.
He can also become a first -area high school player since 2007 who won the event.
After the players ended the second round in early Saturday, the third round began with a six -stroke lead to Scheffler after the start of his best PGA career with 36 holes from the 61st and 63rd rounds.
Scheffler strangled a five-foot bird kick in the second hole and a 28-foot bird blow in the third to reach 20 under and lead seven.
But Scheffler suffered his first fraud of the week in the first of the fourth, losing green and a money money from within seven legs.
Scheffler responded by reaching green in two to place the first birds in the parish-pest-ninth holes fifth and forearm, reaching the turn in 21st and forward from six.
Scheffler made his second fraud at 11th-four when his approach landed in a bunker and the two-legged by 21 meters.
But he responded with back-back birds at 14 and three of the 15th. In the 14th of 319 Oborri, he led the green and was tapped for Birdie. At the age of 15, he landed his track within four legs of the hole and went inside.
