Scheffler lost his drive a bit to the right where it found a fairway bunker 104 yards from the hole. The reigning player of the year would then turn his fortunes around with a single swing. Scottie hit a perfect shot out of the sand and holed his 2nd into the par 4, making a hole-out eagle.

On the course, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is taking aim at his third Phoenix Open title in four years. As the morning progressed Thursday, the notorious wild crowd at the 16th hole of the WM Phoenix Open had yet to reach full throat.
