Scottie Scheffler’s form this season is becoming more fascinating to witness with each passing event. The 27-year-old golfer is in the headlines yet again for his exceptional performance during the third round of the RBC Heritage Open. Scheffler posted a round of 63 on day three to finish on the top of the leaderboard with a total score of 16 under par.
The two-time major winner admitted that his ball-striking form on Saturday at the Harbour Town Golf Links was commendable. He was even proud of the score that he achieved, thanks to a bogey-free round.
Scottie Scheffler said (Golf Today):
“I felt like my ball-striking was really good today. Hit a lot of greens. I played the par-5s well. The par-3s I felt like today were playing very challenging, and I played the par-3s really well. Overall it was a good effort. Proud of the score today.”
Scottie Scheffler then mentioned that his Sunday round comparatively might be quite challenging. However, he is positive to that he will perform his best while also being patient with the game. After all, a win at the RBC Heritage will make him match the record of Bernhard Langer for winning back-to-back events – The Masters, and the RBC Heritage.
Bernhard Langer won the Masters tournament, followed by the RBC Heritage consecutively in two weeks in the year 1985. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler is aiming at equalling his record this week.
