Just an unbelievable par from Scottie Scheffler. 🤯

After finding the water, he bounced back by throwing a dart and sinking the putt to maintain a 67 (!) hole bogey-free streak. He takes a five shot lead into Monday. #SpiderTourX

Scottie Scheffler’s remarkable run in the PGA Tour is on the verge of reaching unprecedented heights as he dominates the RBC Heritage tournament, poised for his fourth victory in just five starts. The world No. 1 has opened up a commanding five-stroke lead with only three holes remaining at the Hilton Head course, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion delayed into a fifth day due to weather conditions in South Carolina.

 

After clinching The Masters title last week and securing consecutive wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players in March, Scheffler’s dominance shows no signs of wavering. At 20 under par after 15 holes, he stands tall atop the leaderboard, with the 2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark leading the clubhouse charge at 15 under.

 

Scheffler’s resilience was evident even amidst challenges, notably when he found the water with his second shot at the par-five 15th, only to rally with a sensational fourth shot and sink a crucial par putt from 12 feet. His relentless pursuit of excellence echoes the feat achieved only by Bernhard Langer in 1985, aiming to clinch a PGA Tour victory just a week after donning the iconic Green Jacket at Augusta National.

 

The battle to dethrone Scheffler intensifies, with contenders like Sahith Theegala, Patrick Cantlay, and J.T. Poston all at 15 under late in their final rounds. Meanwhile, the presence of Masters runner-up Ludvig Åberg and the talented Collin Morikawa adds further intrigue to the remaining holes.

 

As the tournament faces a delay due to adverse weather, Scheffler remains undeterred, focused on maintaining his exceptional performance. With a streak of 40 consecutive rounds at par or better, his commitment to excellence is unmatched.

 

Despite challenges faced by other players like Tom Hoge’s unexpected stumble at the 18th hole and Rory McIlroy’s struggles, the spotlight remains firmly on Scheffler, whose pursuit of history promises a gripping finale to the RBC Heritage.
