Scottie Scheffler made seven birdies and an eagle in the third round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas with Robert MacIntyre also edging himself into contention.<\/p>\n

Coming off his third major victory at the PGA Championship a week ago, but starting the weekend 10 strokes off the lead, Scheffler is tied for seventh after shooting 6 under (64) after plundering seven birdies and an eagle.<\/p>\n

“You are always going to hope to go play a perfect round. It basically never happens,” Scheffler said. “I mean, three bogeys definitely hurts, especially when you are trying to chase, but overall I did some good things.”<\/p>\n

Scheffler will need another spectacular round Sunday to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win in three starts in a row, and the only player other than Ben Hogan in 1946 to win the Byron Nelson and Colonial in the same season.<\/p>\n

“I would say mentally I definitely am a bit tired. I’m definitely taking a lighter schedule this week than I normally would at a tournament, but overall my game, it feels like it’s in a good spot.<\/p>\n

“I felt like I was able to get some good rest to start this week,” he said. “I’m just out here battling. I had a good day today. The first two days definitely could have been a bit better, but we’ll see how things shake out and see what I can do tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

England’s Tommy Fleetwood is tied for 10th place on six under after carding a level par round of 70.<\/p>\n

American Griffin and Germany’s Schmid both endured eventful rounds, picking up shots at each of the first three holes before Griffin surrendered two at the fifth and a third at the sixth, while Schmid dropped shots at the 11th and 17th.<\/p>\n
