And Sir Nick Faldo likes what he sees from the world No.1.

Scheffler finished in a share of second place at the Texas Children's Houston Open on Sunday, one shot back from winner Min Woo Lee.

While the 28-year-old's wait for his first win of 2025 goes on, there were signs he was back to his best as he carded a seven-under 63 in the final round, almost reeling in Lee after starting the day five shots back.
