Scottie Scheffler showcased a new putting grip at the Hero World Challenge, resulting in a satisfying 5-under 67 round, placing him three shots behind leader Cameron Young. Young, returning to competition after a three-month hiatus, excelled on the greens at Albany Golf Club, sinking four birdie putts from 15 feet or longer for a stellar 64.
Justin Thomas, playing his first event since becoming a father, trailed Young by two shots after a strong finish with four consecutive birdies. Scheffler, the top-ranked player in golf with eight victories this year, including an Olympic gold medal, decided to experiment with a new 'saw' putting grip, aiming to enhance his performance.
