The Scotty Sheffoler on Thursday shot his best round of the season, 10-under-Burbar 61, to determine the speed of CJ Cup Bayran Nelson in McCini, Texas.
When Skeffler’s last put fell late in the afternoon, he took a two-stroke lead over the Rico Hoi of the Philippines and the Zonatan Vegas in Venezuela. Vegas was still playing his last hole.
World No. 1 is still demanding its first win of the year after ranking seven PGA tour titles in 2024. In TPC Craig Renge, eight birdies, one eagle and no bogie on Thursday, Sheffler, in his supporter career, put himself in a leading position to win and win in his home state of Texas for the second time.
Skafler participated in a row in a row starting in the third hole. His irony and veg were dialed, as he kept his tea shot up to 4 feet of the pin in Par-3 fourth and his approach was kept from Par-4 to just 2 feet.
He constructed 4-foot for the eagle at Par-5 ninth to go out in 7-under 29.
Sheffler made just one shovedy in the next seven holes, which is equal to -3 17 to 2 feet in the next seven holes. He had a 26 -foot eagle put, which was at 5 18th, which would have given him a round of 60, and it was just a few feet shy.
The Sheffer rocket the previous Hoi, who had an early lead with 8-under 63 with an eagle and a five-shower run between the other and the sixth hole.
The 7-under 64 was the Setfan Jegra of Germany, along with the United States Cameron Champion, Michael Thorbornsen, Eric Coal and Andrew Putam.
Jordan Spith, a Dallas native like Sheffeler, changed to 2-under 69.
