Scheffler fired an unimaginable spherical the place he went 7-under on Friday, good for the spherical of the day at Royal Portrush. For what it’s price Brian Harman, Chris Gotterup and Bryson DeChambeau every carded rounds only one stroke again.
However on the finish of the day Scottie Scheffler is Scottie Scheffler and he’s reminding everybody of that truth with the brightest lights turned on. Harman lurks at T3 (-8) and Matt Fitzpatrick is one stroke again of Scottie, who’s 10-under for the event, so there are main champions effectively inside placing distance… however coming away with the Claret Jug this weekend goes to be a tall process for the sector towards Scottie as they’re totally and completely in his world proper now.
A win on Sunday would put Scottie 75% of the best way by means of the profession grand slam as he holds two Masters inexperienced jackets and the Wanamaker Trophy that he gained this 12 months.
It type of appears like future at this level. How might you presumably wager towards it occurring?
