This allowed him to overcome the five-stroke deficit he started the day with on Sunday. Scheffler's performance was combined with rounds of 68, 70 and 69, respectively, by his main competitors Brian Harman, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark, to fall one stroke behind the leader.
Scheffler was again among the top ball strikers and scorers on the PGA Tour.
