For the second time today – and the sample size of three holes is not exactly huge – Scottie Scheffler pulls his approach from the centre of the fairway miles left. The unforced error finds sand. No bother! Facing a 70-foot splash, he elegantly whips his ball along what looks like an inexorable journey into the cup. You couldn’t hit a putt more smoothly. But it stops one dimple short of dropping. So close to another outrageous birdie. But par keeps him -11, four clear of his playing partner Alex Noren, who also pars.
