Scottie Scheffler equalled the Memorial Park course record he set in 2021 to take a one-shot lead at weather-affected Houston Open.
It was the most complete round of the year for Scheffler, who missed the first month of the season recovering from a freak glass puncture wound sustained at Christmas.
Scheffler opened his round with two birdies, the second of which saw him hole in from just inside 30 feet after the only missed green of his eight-under 62.
“Yesterday I felt like I made a couple key par saves, and today I felt like for the most part I kept the golf course in front of me and I had a lot of looks for birdie,” Scheffler said.
“I didn’t feel like I was struggling for par too much, and that was mostly because I was in the fairway.”
Scheffler watches his tee shot on the first hole
It was the eighth time Scheffler shot 62 or lower – one of those was a 59 in the FedEx Cup playoffs at TPC Boston in 2020 – and his first since he shot 62 in the final round at Le Golf National to win the Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games.
He led by one shot over Canada’s Taylor Pendrith while Jackson Suber, who ended the first round with a four-putt double bogey, was three behind.

Rory McIlroy played in the afternoon and started out 11 shots behind Scheffler. He carded back-to-back birdies and bogeyed the seventh hole before play was suspended due to lightning.
“It was a lot different than we thought it was going to be,” Scheffler said. “Today looked like – checking the forecast this morning – it was going to be one of those days where we’re going to be playing on and off, looking at a few delays out there.”
Instead, he was on from the start with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole and a 25-footer on the 11th. Scheffler played bogey-free for the second straight round.
Scheffler felt his iron play was not as sharp as he wanted but knew he had a good feel on the greens and didn’t have to attack pins if there was no need.
It led to a stress-free round that featured eight birdies and left Scheffler in pole position going into the weekend of his final start before The Masters, live on Sky Sports.

Novak Djokovic exits Madrid Open after shock defeat to Matteo Arnaldi
Novak Djokovic’s miserable start to the clay-court season continued with a second-round defeat to world No. 44 Matteo Arnaldi at the Madrid Open.The 6-3, 6-4 loss means Djokovic is 0-2 on clay in 2025, following his straight-sets defeat to Alejandro Tabilo at the same stage of the Monte Carlo Masters in Monaco a couple of weeks ago. Djokovic, the world No. 5, didn’t lose his first match at a tournament once in 2024. He has done so four times in 2025.AdvertisementIt’s a historically bad run of form for him, and while Arnaldi was inspired in the Spanish capital, it’s a match that Djokovic will be desperately disappointed to have lost. No one has ever been able to raise themselves for Grand Slams like the 24-time champion, but at 37 — and more likely than not to be outside the top […]
Kouče Dynama naštvalo sporné vyloučení: Přijde mi hloupé kopat do mrtvoly
Vaše bezprostřední pocity po sestupu jsou asi jasné…Jsme zklamaní. Zápas jsme chtěli zvládnout. Věděli jsme, že Boleslav není v optimální pohodě. Ale utkání strašně ovlivnila druhá žlutá karta pro Ekpaie. Do té doby jsme měli nějaké příležitosti. Nemáme tak kvalitní kádr, abychom zápas zvládli v deseti lidech. Bohužel jsme dvakrát inkasovali. Pak jsme sice snížili, ale bylo to málo.Jaká je atmosféra v šatně?Pro hráče v kabině, pro nás všechny je to ubíjející. Každý týden se připravujete a… (zamyslí se) Nechci být kritický k rozhodčím. Ale ať si udělá obrázek každý sám.Jak jste viděl Ekpaiovu druhou žlutou vy?Byl to souboj tělo na tělo, rameno na rameno. Nebyl tam loket, nebylo tam nic. Hráči o sobě podle mě ani nevěděli. Je to rozhodnutí sudích, ale nás to ohromně ovlivnilo.Nemohl rozhodčí přihlédnout i k předchozím ostrým zákrokům?To je mi jedno, ať si sčítá co chce. Chtěli jsme hrát důrazně. Vojta […]
2025 NFL Draft: Most improved units after Day 2
Carolina attacks defensive line: Adding a pair of dynamic edge defenders in Nic Scourton and Prince Umanmielen will immediately boost a Panthers edge group that posted the worst PFF pass rush grade in 2024. Arizona added another first-round talent. While Will Johnson’s reported knee issue is concerning, should he hit camp healthy, he profiles as one of the most talented cornerbacks in the class. The 2025 NFL Draft continued into Day 2, as several teams made significant moves to reshape their rosters. While not every selection is guaranteed to be successful, many franchises made significant strides toward improvement with impactful additions across the board. Here are the most improved position groups after Rounds 2 and 3 of the NFL Draft.
