LOUISVILLE – Scottie Scheffler was on the first tee nine strokes behind clubhouse leader Xander Schauffele. Two strokes later, Scheffler had cut Schauffele’s lead to seven.
Scheffler strengthened his approach to No. 1 in Valhalla, and suddenly Schauffele’s enormous lead no longer seemed so untouchable:
Scheffler has won four of the last five tournaments he has played in, including the Masters, and placed T2 in fifth. He also welcomed the birth of his first child last week. And he could add another major championship to his overflowing pile of riches in the next three days.
