Scottie Scheffler is on the prowl Saturday at Quail Hollow, with the World No. 1 charging up the leaderboard in search of his third career major title.
The highlight of Scheffler's opening nine was undoubtedly the tee shot on the par-3 fourth hole, with the two-time Masters champ coming just 11 inches from making an ace.
The tap-in birdie was part of an opening-nine 33 for Scheffler, allowing him to race past the four players he trailed to open the third round and grab a share of the lead heading to No. 10.
