Scheffler stays ahead in Phoenix with Rahm two shots away

Glendale (United States) – American Scottie Scheffler, champion of the last edition of the Augusta Masters, retained the lead in the Phoenix PGA tournament this Saturday with Spaniard Jon Rahm two strokes away.

Nothing changed in the third round leading the tournament as the distance between Scheffler and Rahm on Friday was also two shots.

In this tantalizing duel between two former number ones, Scheffler, champion in Phoenix in 2022, signed a -3 card, the same record that the Spaniard obtained.

Scheffler has -13 cumulative after three rounds and Rahm has -11.

Both golfers have options to snatch Northern Ireland number one Rory McIlroy this week.

Also posting -11 overall is Canadian Nick Taylor, who is tied for second with Rahm after his -4 on Saturday.

For his part, the Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas achieved a -3 this Saturday and remains among the best with a -8 in total.

After two days during which the competition had to be interrupted due to lack of light, which forced some players to get up early the next day to finish their rounds, this Saturday all the players were able to complete their holes.

The Phoenix tournament runs through Sunday at TPC Scottsdale Field, which is about a half-hour drive from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, where the Super Bowl will be played on the same day between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chiefs. of Kansas City.
