Let him come. Trying to feather a fade and he’s done it. Just needs to get up a little bit. Oh, that’s good. Pretty basic pitch, Kurt. [Music] You know what he was thinking. Hard working for there. Sheffller’s second shot. Really tight fairway here short of the green. Kurt [Music] doing what he does though. And some of the thickest rough on the golf course. Anything on the green would be good. And that’s exactly what he did. Took a huge chaw pedal too. Kind of made that look easy and it wasn’t. Sheffller at the sixth 174. This is gorgeous. Boy, it’s starting to work in. It sure is. Let that left to right wind help drip that ball. He’s got to pitch it right on the top of the spine, though. This is going to be a big swing. I I don’t know what you do from there, Frank. At least he’s At least he’s uphill now. Yeah, you’re right. I mean, he would have loved to be like 10 ft either side of where he was. Pretty makeable chip shot here. Got to be on the number here, Johnson. Absolutely, Frank. 24 gap wedge in hand. Safe safely. Sorry. There’s the back stop. Coming back a little bit. Didn’t have the spin. wasn’t in a fair way, but no birdies on his round, but he has not made a bogey either. And he will keep that streak going heading into the par five 11th. 98 yds for Scotty. Land this little long left, try and spin it back. That’s a full rip with the lob wave. should have a lot of spin on it. Oh, it does. Getting better and better. Leads himself a little uphill. Colt not the easiest putty and going to move a lot to his right. Needs to diet in the tops in that top side. Beautifully held. 15 PGA Tour wins to his credit, including three majors. [Applause] Getable par five if you can put it in the fairway. Welcome to the strike show, Trevor. [Applause] [Music] Nice little fade holding it up the right hand side. He’ll easily be able to get there in two. And Scotty trying to deliver on this par five. 238 back into the win. That’s fivewood. Starts off on a good line now moving a little left. That almost kicked all the way onto the surface. If he holds this, he has the solo lead for Eagle with a driver way back when they didn’t hit as far as they do today was a Canadian, Dan Halderson, and he made it two way back in the day. That’s birdie for Scotty Sheffler. And Frank, this crowd loves this man. But I have a feeling the love might be a little different in a couple of months when his Longhorns come to visit Mr. Nicholas’s Buckeyes. Oh, you’re poking the bear, Colton. You’re poking the bear. That was bad. It’s been a popular miss. Short right. You would think straight forward for Sheffller. Yeah, that might be one of the worst iron shots we’ve seen him hit all year. Yeah, I don’t know. Got I think it was a professional miss. Short right, great chip. Guarantees the three. Now two clear of third place. There’s no bunkers there. Absolutely perfect. Got a little helping win going with seven iron. This is one he can be aggressive with. This is looking good, Ian. Sheffller inside 10 ft at 17. Patience [Music] and the fourth birdie of the day at the 17th. [Applause] Well, he made it look rather easy, Jim. This is right down the center stripe. Oh, yeah. Straight to the teeth. He’s drawing it in there. It’s just right of it. Good look at Birdie coming up. to think he parred the first 13 holes today. Not all of a sudden the last round he just sort of ran away from the field to tie the lead. Never a doubt. Four birdies in his last five to finish. Kind of reminiscent. Watch the [Applause] reaction. By the way, that looked a little like Jack in his prime leading with the putter in the left arm. Jack could brandish that putter up to the sky better than anyone of all time. Well, but I like to save the real Highlands for the fourth round. That’s it. We saw that a few times. [Music] This is the first time you’ve gone bogey free at this course in 19 rounds. How impressive is it to get around here mistake free? Yeah, I mean today was a grind. The conditions were were pretty tough. The winds were up pretty high and I felt like I was doing a lot of good stuff on the front nine. I wasn’t really getting a ton out of it, hitting a lot of lips. Um, but overall, yeah, I mean, I was I knew it was going to be a tough day just based on the conditions and did my best to grind it out and just had a had a good finish which turned into a really nice round. I know you said after your round on Thursday you were going have to be a little bit sharper. Is that what you were talking about? That final stretch of birdies. Is that as sharp as you were hoping to be? Yeah, that’d be nice. You know, um, no, that was good. I was felt like I hit a lot more fairways, a lot more greens yesterday and today was more the same. like kept kept the ball in play. Uh missed in the correct spots and you know did a good job of saving pars on a day which par was a really good score around this place. Feels like we ask you this every Saturday afternoon. What do you got to do tomorrow to get it done? Yeah. Um just more of the same, you know, just be committed to my shots. We’ll see, you know, what my position is on the leaderboard going into tomorrow, but um you know, should be pretty close to the lead and um yeah, we’ll see what happens. you know, looking forward to the challenge of trying to tackle this golf course one more day and um should be some some more good conditions tomorrow and some talented guys on the leaderboard. So, it should be a fun Sunday. In contention, once again, surprising absolutely nobody. Scotty Shuffler, thanks for the time. Thanks for watching the PJ Tour on YouTube. For more videos, click here.
