Scheffler keeps big lead
Manila Bulletin
|May 5, 2025
Scottie Scheffler's comfortable lead at his hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson was the same late in the third round as it was at the start, even without the dominance the top-ranked player showed over the first 36 holes.
-
Then he found that form again, and made a big lead even bigger at 23 under while finishing after sunset Saturday night.
Scheffler has an eight-shot lead after a 5-under 66 capped by birdies on three of the final five holes - the last on the par-5 18th more than 13 hours after the day began with about half the field needing to complete the second round, including 18 players who hadn't even started. There was a six-hour weather delay Friday.
Erik von Rooyen (65), Adam Schenk (65) and Ricky Castillo (67) are 15 under, with Kurt Kitiyama (68) and Jhonattan Vegas (67) another shot back.
