Did the "God of Golf" come to the fore.
Scottie Scheffler, world No. 1 in men's golf, is showing off his tremendous performance in his hometown. Neither rain nor long waits can stop Scheffler.
Schaeffler hit 8 under par in the second round of The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craygranch, located in McKinney, near Dallas, Texas, on the 3rd (Korea time).
The match was suspended for about six hours due to heavy rain in the morning, and Scheffler, who finished the first half before the rain, remained firmly in the lead by playing eight under par despite a long break. Scheffler was named No. 1 in the first round on the 2nd with a whopping 10 under par.
On the first day, other players also scored well, but in the second round, other players struggled to reduce their scores due to weather and pin position, but Schaeffler played comfortably.
Scheffler hit well for two days after the second round. I'm in a good mood. I am very happy with my game. I will go home, rest, and prepare for tomorrow."
Scheffler said of the heavy rain and rest "The course was pretty wet, but overall it recovered well. Even though it rained a lot, the course held up well. The green was in good shape as well."I went to the player's restaurant a few times and ate a lot of food. The food was always ready. So I spent time sitting down with the other players, eating and talking, and I didn't do anything in particular."
Scheffler started the season late last year with an unexpected palm injury, and has not won eight tournaments this year. In the meantime, he further increased his chances of winning the CJ Cup for the first time. Scheffler said "My performance is good, I'm moving in the right direction. The Masters, too, has had a good start in a few recent tournaments. There was also a chance to win. In the meantime, the game hasn't gone well on Sunday, but I think it's definitely moving in a good direction now" he said.
Meanwhile, the second round failed to finish the game due to a long suspension. They will play the remaining second round on the morning of the 3rd, and enter the third round in the afternoon.
