FORT WORTH, Texas — Saturday is known as moving day on the PGA Tour. And Scottie Scheffler moved himself in position to win for the fifth time on the PGA Tour this season.
Windy conditions made birdies few and far between Round 3 of the Charles Schwab Challenge, but Scheffler made consecutive birdies on Nos. 10 and 11 to take the outright lead at 11-under. He gave one back with his first bogey of the tournament on No. 17, but drained a 30-footer for birdie on No. 18 to take a two-stroke lead at 11-under going into Sunday.
“I was playing good golf,” Scheffler said. “It was really tough out there. The winds were up really high. The greens were actually pretty firm, and so it was challenging. The birdies were not coming easy to anybody out there late in the day.”
