NORTON, Mass. – Scottie Scheffler skimmed through a couple hundred text messages Friday night after recording the 12th sub-60 score in PGA Tour history. Once he arrived at TPC Boston for his third round, he was still receiving congratulations from his peers.
“It’s fun,” he said, “but once I got on the course, I didn’t think once about it.”
Keeping pace with Dustin Johnson required his full attention.
Scheffler followed up his 59 with a third-round 67 – a solid round but not low enough to hang with Johnson, who went 60-64 and now has a five-shot lead at The Northern Trust.
