Scottie Scheffler gives a heads-up before CJ Cup Byron Nelson final round
After 54 holes, Scheffler has scored a total 23 under par at this PGA Tour event. When he ended round 3 on May 3, the two-time major winner shared his thoughts about his performance.
While speaking with the press, Scottie Scheffler said (as quoted by ASAP Sports):
"It was good golf. I did a good job getting it around today. I definitely wasn't as sharp as I was the last two days, but overall, I posted a pretty good score. Over a 72-hole tournament, you're going to have days, or typically at least one day where your swing's not firing on all cylinders like it was the first two days."
He also showcased an optimistic mentality regarding winning the cup.
"Today I did a good job and hopefully tomorrow I'll swing a little better. Had a great week. This tournament means a lot to me. I grew up coming out here to watch. Yeah, tomorrow should be a fun day and a good opportunity for me to go out and have a good round and hopefully win a tournament."
Scottie Scheffler showcased an incredible performance this week, hitting low-score rounds of 61, 63, and 67, respectively. He came closest to tying the score record at Byron Nelson when he scored 10 under par 61 in the opening round.
