Scheffler bounced back with two birdies and a bogey over the next six holes, but he gave it all back — and then some — on the par-3 eighth. He found water off the tee, then missed an 11-foot putt that would’ve saved bogey, carding a 5.

Scheffler made his triple-bogey 7 at the first when his greenside-bunker third shot went over the green and his next chip came back to him. He missed a 16-foot putt for double bogey. Through 16 holes, Scheffler and Thomas were both three over on a day when Russell Henley shot 61 and leader Tommy Fleetwood scored 63.
