Scottie Scheffler’s PGA Tour record which is ominous for the rest of the Tour Championship field

Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, is making his presence felt at the Tour Championship. Although not at his peak in the recent weeks, Scheffler has shown remarkable consistency throughout the year and is a favorite for Player of the Year. Despite only one win this season, he has found a new level of performance lately. After winning the FedEx St Jude by nine strokes, he placed T12 at the BMW Championship even while battling hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Currently, he is two shots behind the leader Viktor Hovland after 36 holes, putting him in a strong position to win the tournament.

Judging by his remarkable record, Scheffler is nearly invincible in such a scenario. Over the last ten times he was in the top five heading into the weekend on the PGA Tour, he has won seven of those tournaments, an astonishing tally. This record at the Tour Championship is nothing short of ominous for the rest of the field, as it indicates Scheffler's dominance when he's feeling his best.

At East Lake, he had a clean scorecard to begin with on Thursday, but a few errors in his iron play during the second round slowed his progress. However, Scheffler bounced back on the back nine, posting a 67 and staying in contention. With the FedEx Cup point leader, he has a chance to clinch the playoff finale with two days left to play.
