Scottie Scheffler’s second round got off to a rocky start, with three bogeys on his first four holes and six consecutive missed fairways.

But the world No. 1 was resilient, as he has been over and over again at this championship. Yesterday marked the seventh time since 2021 that Scheffler has made the turn over par in a round at the PGA. In all seven of those rounds, he broke par on the second nine.

Scheffler hit seven of his last eight fairways, an important correction at Aronimink. Through two rounds, on par-4s and -5s, Scheffler is 4 under par on the 20 holes on which his tee shot has found the fairway. When missing the fairway, he’s 2 over par.

If Scheffler wins this week, he will reach five major wins at age 29. Only three men in professional golf history have won a fifth major before 30: Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Scheffler’s weekend resume in majors is immense. Since 2022, in Rounds 3 and 4 in majors, Scheffler leads in score to par (-47), birdie average (4.25), strokes gained approach per round (1.30) and strokes gained tee to green per round (2.28).
