NASSAU (Bahamas) — Scottie Schreffler might have discovered a new club.
The world No. The world No. He shot a 7-under-65 at Albany on Saturday with two eagles, four birdies, and a score of 65. This gave him a three stroke lead over Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick.
Scheffler commented, “Nice seeing some putts going in.” “I’ve been rolling pretty solid.” “These greens can sometimes be difficult to putt, but I’ve been rolling it pretty solid.”
He is. Scheffler uses a putter blade with a heel toe weighting made by the little-known Olson Putter Co.
Scheffler said that the product is very similar to other products he has used in the past. It has a small thing on top that helps me align the ball more consistently on my face. The grip is also different from what I used before, but Phil Kenyon and I worked together to improve it.
Scheffler tied Fitzpatrick for the lowest round of the day, and his 65 put him at 16-under-200 on a 54 hole total.
Scheffler finished runner up at the Hero World Challenge in the past two years. He won his last PGA Tour event at the Players Championship, which took place in March. He said both times that he would need a strong back-nine to be in contention. But Viktor Hovland sealed the deal.
Scheffler said that he hoped to have “one more good back nine” in him.
