The American shoots sublime 65 in a show of strength to give himself a chance of a third title at Augusta<\/p>\n
On Friday evening Scottie Scheffler was in the new player facility going back and forth over his putting game. Despite himself, he got sucked into watching what Rory McIlroy was doing on the big TVs the club have up in the training room. \u201cIt was pretty special stuff,\u201d Scheffler admitted. And by the time McIlroy had finished Scheffler, the world\u2019s No 1 golfer, had a different perspective on the tournament. He had scored 70 and 74 himself, and was even-par for the tournament, 12 shots off McIlroy\u2019s lead, with 36 holes to play and nothing left to lose.<\/p>\n
All of a sudden a tournament which has a way of making the game feel very complicated indeed had become very simple for him. Scheffler needed birdies. And he got them. He made five altogether, along with an eagle. He scored 65, seven under. It was the best round he\u2019s ever played in the Masters. \u201cI think that\u2019s what great players do,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cThey rise to the occasion when you are at the biggest tournaments, and you\u2019d be hard pressed to find another tournament that\u2019s bigger than this one, especially for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
