Excluding Spieth, three players in the top 10 in the world are competing for the title. In particular, as McIlroy, the world’s No. 1, stagnated to a tie for 28th (3 under par) until the third round of the tournament, the possibility of Schaeffler and Ram recapturing the world’s No. 1 is highly predicted.
Schaeffler, who is also the ‘defending champion’ of this tournament, will defend his title in this tournament and challenge for a total of 5 wins on the tour. Scheffler, who reduced by one stroke each on holes 2 (par 4) and 4 (par 3) in the first half of the day, played a frustrating game as no birdie came out for the next 8 holes. Scheffler, who exchanged bogey on the 13th hole (par 5) and birdie on the 14th hole (par 4) and continued to score 12 under par, recorded a birdie at the 17th hole at the end of the second half and finished the game happily with a 13 under par. It is two strokes away from Ram (11 under par), who is tied for second place, and has the highest chance of winning so far. 스포츠토토
