Scottie Scheffler's play during the Texas Children's Houston Open should terrify the rest of the PGA Tour players as his flat stick caught fire.

HOUSTON — Min Woo Lee chipped in for birdie to take the lead and then left Scottie Scheffler and everyone else in his wake Saturday with a 7-under 63, giving him a four-shot lead in the Houston Open as the Australian closes in on his first PGA Tour victory.

The popular Aussie is in unfamiliar territory on the PGA Tour, leading by four shots heading into the final round of the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. He was a co-leader after 36 holes at the Players Championship two weeks ago but fell apart on the weekend. This time, he's got a comfortable cushion looking for his first PGA Tour win.

After The PLAYERS Championship, Scottie Scheffler says he is near the top of his game. Two weeks later, he leads the Houston Open in the second round.

Scottie Scheffler opened with two straight birdies and was on his way Friday in the Houston Open, tying the Memorial Park record with an 8-under 62 for a one-shot lead when the second round was halted by darkness after a two-hour storm delay Friday.

Scottie Scheffler matched his own course record Friday at Memorial Park to take the clubhouse lead at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Scheffler carded eight birdies and no bogeys for a 62 in the second round. At 11 under par, he was one clear of Taylor Pendrith (65).

When Scottie Scheffler is an average putter, everyone else has a chance. When he rolls the flat stick like he did Friday, good luck to the field.
