FORT WORTH – Scottie Scheffler gave his sizable Charles Schwab Challenge gallery the kind of third-round charge it wanted to see on Saturday morning. Scheffler played his first 11 holes at Colonial Country Club in seven-under par, reducing his 10-shot overnight deficit on the leaders to just three at one point.

Any pro golfer with deep Texas ties would like to have his name included in the same sentence as the great Ben Hogan, and Scottie Scheffler on Saturday gave himself that opportunity—fittingly, at Fort Worth’s Colonial Country Club.

Scottie Scheffler knew he had to make a bunch of birdies in the third round at Colonial for any chance to win in his third consecutive start. The world's No. 1 player did just that, but also had three bogeys on the back nine.
