Local favorite and native Texan Scottie Scheffler takes a commanding eight-shot lead into the final round of the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
The world’s No. 1-ranked player has dominated the tournament from the start, firing a 10-under 61 in the opening round and following it up with a 63 and a 66 to get to 23-under through 54 holes.
The last time a player led by that many shots entering the final round of a PGA Tour event: Rory McIlroy at the 2011 U.S. Open.
At the start of play Sunday, Scheffler’s closest challengers were Ricky Castillo, Adam Schenk and Erik van Rooyen at 15-under.
