McKINNEY, Texas — Scottie Scheffler matched the PGA Tour’s 72-hole scoring record on Sunday, finishing at 253 and running away with an eight-shot victory at his hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson. The top-ranked player, who closed with a 63 to finish at 31 under par, tied the mark set by Justin Thomas at the 2017 Sony Open and equaled six years later by Ludvig Aberg at the RSM Classic. Scheffler was in position to break the record before a flubbed chip that led to bogey on the par-3 17th hole and a par from a greenside bunker on the par-5 closing hole. His 8-foot putt for birdie and the record slid by the left side of the hole. Hideki Matsuyama has the lowest score in relation to par this season, 35 under on the par-73 Plantation Course at Kapalua. Scheffler tied the 54-hole Nelson record with an eight-shot lead, and nobody got closer than six during the final round. Erik van Rooyen of South Africa matched Scheffler’s 63 to finish at 23 under, three shots ahead of Sam Stevens and four ahead of another hometown favorite, Jordan Spieth.Haeran Ryu pulls away for a wire-to-wire win at Black Desert ChampionshipJim Dent, the long hitter and one of the top Black golfers on PGA Tour Champions, dies at age 85 Spieth shot 62 in the final round, surging to finish fourth while watching his friend and fellow Texas alum become the first of the pair to win the event they both cherish. It was the first victory this year for Scheffler after he won a total of 10 times before May in the previous three years combined, including two Masters victories. The 28-year-old Dallas resident has 14 career victories. Scheffler’s previous best Nelson finish was a tie for fifth two years ago. He missed last year’s event for the birth of his first child. He cradled his year-old son, Bennett, after becoming the first wire-to-wire Nelson winner since Tom Watson 45 years ago. Scheffler shattered the previous Nelson scoring record of 259 set by Steven Bowditch in 2015. That tournament was played at the TPC Four Seasons. Normally a par 70, that course had a par-69 layout the final three days when heavy rain forced officials to convert a par 4 into a par 3. Bowditch finished 18 under. Scheffler’s victory margin was the second-largest at the Nelson behind Sam Snead’s 10-shot win in 1957, when it was known as the Dallas Open Invitational. Because of heavy rain Wednesday and Friday, players were allowed to lift, clean and replace their golf balls in the fairway for the first three rounds, but not in the final round. Aberg had so-called preferred lies during the first rounds at the 2023 RSM Classic. Sunday’s weather at the Nelson was perfect, with highs in the mid-70s and little wind.Trump, in a new interview, says he doesn’t know if he backs due process rights
