Scottie Scheffler expands lead with opening round 65 at TOUR Championship
Scottie Scheffler’s lead was gone after the first hole and a feeling of deja vu briefly swept through East Lake Golf Club.
Scheffler began the last two TOUR Championships at No. 1, 10-under in the FedExCup Starting Strokes format, and failed to close it out with a season-ending victory. A year ago, his lead was gone by the end of the first round.
It had never come this quick, though. Scheffler started Thursday in that familiar 10-under spot. An opening birdie from Xander Schauffele and a bogey from Scheffler drew them even at 9-under.
But Scheffler’s 2024 season has not been like his previous two. The Texan separated himself from the rest of pro golf, rattling off seven wins, including the Masters, THE PLAYERS Championship and the Olympics, surpassing even the loftiest expectations set at the start of the season.
Thursday was different, too.
Scheffler played mistake-free golf after the first hole, carding seven birdies en route to a 6-under 65 at the renovated East Lake. It was the low round of the day, one better than Collin Morikawa, who sits in second alongside Schauffele. Scheffler’s lead is now seven, the biggest lead he’s held at the TOUR Championship.
“I wasn’t thinking about the lead out there today,” Scheffler said. “There’s no reason to. It’s the first day of the tournament.
