The last golfer to have an eight-shot lead on the PGA TOUR through 54 holes was Rory McIlroy at the 2011 U.S. Open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Scheffler, who is looking for his first win of 2025, was 2 under after three holes in his third round before giving one back on the par-3 4th \u2013 his first bogey of the week. He added another birdie on the par-5 9th before bogeying the par-4 11th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He drove the green on the short par-4 14th, leaving his tee ball just 13 feet away enroute to another birdie. He added circles on his card on Nos. 15 and 18 to come in with a 5-under 66, PGA Tour reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t as sharp as I was the last two days, but overall I posted a pretty good score. Over a 72-hole tournament, you're going to have days, or typically at least one day, where your swing's not firing on all cylinders like it was the first two days. It's all about how you battle through that,\" Scheffler said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
If Scheffler were to go on to win, it would be his first official win since the Tour Championship last September (Scheffler won the Hero World Challenge in December). Scheffler has five top-10s so far this season, with his best result, a T2, coming at the Texas Children\u2019s Houston Open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The widest margin of victory in Scheffler\u2019s career was five shots, which he\u2019s done twice \u2013 at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and THE Players Championship in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
