Scottie Scheffler equals record as he wins Byron Nelson title by eight shots
Scottie Scheffler equalled the PGA Tour’s lowest 72-hole total as he eased to an eight-stroke victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
The world number one, who set the pace throughout after an opening 61, closed with a 63 to finish on 31-under-par 253 – matching the record held by Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg.
He was on course to beat the record, but bogeyed the 17th hole after a poor chip and missed an eight-foot birdie putt at the last.
The wins are bigger and better in Texas
