Scottie Scheffler in contention for historic PGA Tour win at Houston Open

Scottie Scheffler is on the verge of making history as he aims to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three consecutive PGA Tour events. The 27-year-old Texan is currently in a five-way tie for the lead at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, setting the stage for an exciting final round on Sunday.

Scheffler, who recently claimed victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship, is determined to continue his winning streak despite facing tough competition from players like David Skinns, Stephan Jaeger, Thomas Detry, and Alejandro Tosti. Tony Finau, who was the overnight leader, is also in contention, just two shots behind the leaders.

Despite facing a setback with a double-bogey on the 15th hole, Scheffler showed his resilience by bouncing back with consecutive birdies to stay in the hunt for the title. With challenging weather conditions expected on Sunday, Scheffler remains focused on his game plan and is ready to tackle whatever comes his way.

In addition to Scheffler’s impressive performance, amateurs Nick Dunlap, Taylor Moore, and Akshay Bhatia are also making their mark in the tournament, sitting in a three-way tie for second place at eight under. Dunlap, who made history as the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour in 33 years, is looking to continue his success on the professional circuit.
