ATLANTA — For most of the day at East Lake Golf Club, Scottie Scheffler looked as if he was going to turn his five-stroke overnight lead into a rout.
The World No. 1 tacked on three birdies in his first six holes and led by as many as seven strokes. The trophy engraver was already checking the spelling of his name – that’s Scottie with an ‘ie’ not a ‘y’ and don’t forget the ‘c’ in Scheffler.
