Speaking of his performance, Scheffler said (via ASAP Sports):

"I felt like Russ and I did some good things. We just didn't hole enough putts early. We had some chances. I think the putts just didn't fall. But overall, the guys we played, they played a really good round, and go back out this afternoon and see what we can do."

The fourball he played with JJ Spaun, and speaking of that game, Scheffler said (via ASAP Sports):

"We gave ourselves plenty of opportunities. It really just came down to me not holing enough putts. We put up a good fight at the end. The guys just really turned it on on the back nine, but it really came down to us not taking advantage of the holes early in the match that we needed to, but overall it was a good fight at the end, and we'll come back out tomorrow."

Meanwhile, this season on the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler has won The CJ Cup Byron, the PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, the Open Championship, the BMW Championship, and the Procore Championship.
