In the exciting setting of the PGA Championship, Scottie Scheffler has demonstrated his dominance once again, solidifying his position as the player to beat. His game, marked by precision and consistency, has led him to lead the tournament with a significant advantage.
Scheffler: The Inevitable Domination
With a masterful tee shot that culminated in an eagle on the 14th hole, Scheffler demonstrated why he is considered the most dominant player in professional golf. At 304 yards away, he placed the ball inches from the hole, securing a shot that catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard. His performance on the course has been impeccable, with strategic birdies that allowed him to secure a three-stroke lead after 54 holes.
I focus on executing the shot, I can’t control what others do. I just try to hit the ball how I want. Some days it works better than others.

As Scheffler ascended, the competition waned. Quail Hollow’s demanding “Green Mile” took its toll, affecting players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. Rahm, with a bogey on the 17th hole, and DeChambeau, with a double bogey on the same hole, saw their chances diminished.
I am three strokes away with a round to play in a major championship. I can’t complain much.
Bryson DeChambeau
The situation for Rahm and DeChambeau is complicated, as Scheffler has shown relentless consistency. Rahm will begin the final round five strokes behind Scheffler, while DeChambeau will have to make up six.
Other players, such as Alex Noren and Davis Riley, will also try to challenge Scheffler, although the task seems arduous. Noren, three strokes away, and Riley and J.T. Poston, both seven strokes away, will seek to surprise.
Despite the disadvantage, Rahm and DeChambeau, both seeking their third major victory, could be Scheffler’s most dangerous rivals. Rahm, in particular, is looking to add this title to his impressive track record.
It’s hard to express how much I want to win a major, I’m very happy to be in this position again.
Jon Rahm
Rahm’s performance this week has been solid, excelling in strokes from the tee. However, he might still need more to surpass Scheffler.
DeChambeau, for his part, has had an irregular performance, which could cost him the opportunity to add his third major title. However, he maintains the hope of giving his best in the final round.
I can only control what I can control, and if I go out and shoot 6, 7 under par, that’s what I’m going to focus on doing.
Bryson DeChambeau
Scheffler, considered the most dominant player at the moment, has demonstrated admirable consistency, ranking among the top 10 in strokes from the tee, on approach, and around the green. His mentality to recover from errors and his putting game have been crucial to his performance.
I’m here to give my best and try to dominate the golf course, and at the end of the day, that’s what I focus on. If I think about what others are doing, that won’t be good for me.

In the final round, Scheffler will have the advantage of focusing on his own game, while his competitors know that to have any chance, they need the leader to make mistakes.
