The world number 1 has a very comfortable advance of eight strokes on his first pursuer, Erik Van Rooyen.
The world N.1 Scottie Scheffler has a comfortable advance at the top of the PGA CJ Cup byron Nelson golf tournament, where Frenchman Antoine Rozner went back to 7th place on Saturday in McKinney (Texas, United States).
A card of 66 (6 sous by by) allowed Scheffler to keep a wide advance of eight strokes before the last day on Sunday.
“It was good golf course. I was not as good as during the first two laps, but it remains a good score, and on a tournament with 72 holes it is normal to have a day with a less efficient swing, “said the 28 -year -old Texan.
Scheffler has the biggest lead after a 3rd round on the circuit from Rory McILroy at the US Open in 2011.
The South African Erik Van Rooyen and the Americans Adam Schenk and Ricky Castillo share second place with a total -15 score.
Frenchman Antoine Rozner signed the best card of the day in 63 with nine birdies and a single Bogey, allowing him to go up 42 positions to be 7th to ten strokes of the leader.
Rozner, 32, is playing his first season on the PGA circuit, with the best result of a 31st place at the end of April in New Orleans.
