Overview

  • Russell Henley set the early pace at East Lake with a course-record 9-under 61, while Scheffler posted a bogey-free 63 to sit two shots behind in solo second.
  • Ted Scott is back on Scheffler’s bag in Atlanta after a family-related absence that saw him miss the FedEx St. Jude and BMW Championship.
  • Fill-in caddie Michael Cromie helped Scheffler capture the BMW title and reportedly received about £267,000 from the win.
  • Rory McIlroy birdied the 18th after his bunker shot ricocheted off the grandstand and back onto the green, and Scheffler said he was relieved with storms about to halt play.
  • Scheffler’s season features five victories including the PGA Championship and The Open, and he leads key strokes gained categories across the PGA Tour.
