PGA champ Scottie Scheffler makes big move in 3rd round at Colonial before three late bogeys
- After the third round on May 24, 2025, Scottie Scheffler stood at 7-under 203 at the Colonial Country Club tournament, positioning himself within reach of the leaders.
- Scheffler began the weekend trailing by 10 shots but climbed the leaderboard after a 6-under 64 that included eight birdies and an eagle, while the leaders, Ben Griffin and Matti Schmid, each posted rounds of 2-under 68.
- Scheffler made an impressive par from a penalty area on the par-4 seventh hole by finding a small window to reach the green despite a poor tee shot, reflecting his resilience this week.
- Scheffler noted that although the lie initially appeared challenging, he found it manageable upon closer inspection. He also mentioned that he managed to rest well at the beginning of the week but acknowledged feeling somewhat mentally fatigued.
- If Scheffler continues performing well on Sunday, he has a chance to secure his third consecutive victory, a feat last achieved by Dustin Johnson in 2017, and to become just the second player since 1946 to claim both the Byron Nelson and Colonial titles within the same season.
