FORT WORTH, Texas — The Texas winds are coming. Scottie Scheffler knows it. And the best way to prepare for stress is by taking it easy for a bit.
So the fact that Scheffler — who has never sparkled at Colonial Country Club, even though it’s a PGA Tour home game for him — could exhale a little on Friday at the Charles Schwab Challenge and still put himself at the top of another leaderboard is something to behold.
Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked player, was smooth as silk in posting a 65 in the second round and now owns a portion of the 36-hole lead with fellow University of Texas product Beau Hossler and Scott Stallings. All three are at 9 under.
