He settled for a two-under par 68 that put him in a five-way tie for second alongside Taylor Moore, Tony Finau, Belgian Thomas Detry and Argentina’s Alejandro Tosti.Jaeger, ranked 71st in the world and chasing a first tour title in his 135th start, was part of a five-way tie for the lead to start the day.
Jaeger barely missed a 20-foot birdie at the 12th, then drilled a 19-foot par-saving putt at the 13th. He parred 16 after his drive went left onto a cart path. Scheffler, who birdied the second and third before bogeys at the sixth and ninth, was just behind Jaeger until he missed the green at 15 and fell two adrift.
“Felt like I had some weird breaks this week,” Scheffler added. “It’s tough to describe, but obviously I’m a bit disappointed.
