Scheffler lost his drive a bit to the right where it found a fairway bunker 104 yards from the hole. The reigning player of the year would then turn his fortunes around with a single swing. Scottie hit a perfect shot out of the sand and holed his 2nd into the par 4, making a hole-out eagle.

Scottie Scheffler is No. 1 in the world. But his definition of success involves neither money nor tournament victories.

On the course, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is taking aim at his third Phoenix Open title in four years. Last year’s WM Phoenix Open runner-up Charley Hoffman made waves as he went from underdog to a playoff against eventual winner Nick Taylor in the final round.
