As we come closer to the Masters, the speculation on the ongoing form of the World No. 1 has been the talk of the town. As in the past year, his performance before the Masters already had two victories, three top-5s, and two top-10s. However, in 2025, his best finish came at the Genesis Invitational, where he recorded a T3 finish. The decline in performance raised eyebrows with worry.
However, Scottie Scheffler, known for his strong mentality, shows great form in the ongoing Houston Open. The golfer, after his bogey-free first round with three birdies, scored 67. Continuing the dominant form, he added 8 more birdies to match his low from 2022, which was 62. Not only this, but he also hit 17+ greens in regulation for the first time and gained 3 or more strokes, putting in the same ground.
Sharing about the great achievement, PGA Tour Communications shared a post on X, writing, “Scheffler’s 62 is his lowest round on TOUR since closing with a 62 at the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship (finished T3).” Though the golfer has recorded many bogey-free rounds, take the example of his Masters 2024 first round. But recording 62 took him 797 days to re-achieve that feat. Scheffler is currently on the solo lead with a stroke difference from Taylor Pendrith.
This is a developing story…
