Scottie Scheffler makes ace at 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

Scottie Scheffler makes ace at 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

Scottie Scheffler didn’t need any help from his struggling putter at the par-3 eighth hole at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas on Sunday.

The world No. 2 made the second hole-in-one of his PGA Tour career in the final round of the 2023 Charles Schwab Championship.

The native Texan’s 7-iron at the 189-yard par-3 bounced twice on the green and made a bee line for the hole. Scheffler lifted his arms to the heavens and celebrated by hugging caddie Ted Scott.

It was the second ace of the week at the hole – Harris English did the same on Friday – and the second ace for Scheffler on the PGA Tour, who made his previous hole-in-one down the road in Dallas during the third round of the 2014 AT&T Byron Nelson.

The ace lifted Scheffler to 7 under for the tournament and in fourth place despite ranking last among the field of 72 to make the cut in Strokes Gain: putting this week. The ace was a continuation of Scheffler’s ball-striking prowess. He ranks first in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green.

Scheffler lost in a playoff at this event a year earlier to Sam Burns.
