Scottie Scheffler has been on a tear since his dominant win at the 2024 Masters. His precision iron play and improved putting have made him nearly unbeatable. And now, he’s adding another chapter to his growing legacy. The World No. 1 has once again shown why he’s the most feared player in golf. Still hungry for his first win of 2025, Scheffler seems determined to change that this week.
Scheffler carded a scorching 7-under 29 on the front nine at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson on Thursday. He matched the lowest front-nine score at TPC Craig Ranch since the tournament relocated there in 2021. His blistering start included four consecutive birdies from holes 3 through 6. But he wasn’t done yet.
The Texas native added another birdie at the 8th hole. Then came the exclamation point. Scheffler eagled the par-5 ninth, where his approach shot landed just four feet from the pin. His ball-striking was clinical through the opening holes. He didn’t miss a single green through his first ten holes.
