However on the finish of the day Scottie Scheffler is Scottie Scheffler and he’s reminding everybody of that reality with the brightest lights turned on. Harman lurks at T3 (-8) and Matt Fitzpatrick is one stroke again of Scottie, who’s 10-under for the event, so there are main champions nicely inside placing distance… however coming away with the Claret Jug this weekend goes to be a tall job for the sector in opposition to Scottie as they’re totally and completely in his world proper now.
