Your countryman JT Poston He set the pace on a beautiful day on Hilton Head Island with nine birdies – six of them in a seven-hole stretch – for a 63 (-8) that gave him a two-shot lead over the top. Collin Morikawa and Seamus Power.
Ludwig Abergthe Swedish runner-up at Augusta, is one shot further behind. Rory McIlroy He birdied his final two holes to salvage a rough day with the irons and shoot a 67.
Thousands of fans flocked to the Harbor Town course to see Scheffler, the Masters champion looking for his fourth victory in his last five tournaments. There are times when Scheffler doesn’t look like No. 1 player in the world.
“Yes, emotionally I’m a little tired. Mentally, a little tired, yes. I seem to have more energy now than at the beginning of the day, when I got up to play golf. But it’s good to play golf. I’m back in tournament mode,” said Scheffler. With his return to under par, Scheffler now has 37 consecutive rounds at par or better, dating back to the Tour Championship in August.
Poston closed with a 70 at Augusta National and landed on Hilton Head Island with their one-month-old daughter, Katherine Scott, whom they call Scottie, a name familiar to both sides of the family. “It’s a good time to be called Scottie,” said the leader.
For Morikawa, 65 is confirmation that he is on the right track. The two-time major winner was among the leaders Sunday at the Masters until he made a pair of double bogeys on the back nine and waved goodbye to the green jacket. “What I’m doing is working. I just have to stick with it and understand why it works and just go out there and play golf,” he said.
