The PGA Tour was back in Texas this week for the annual CJ Cup Byron Nelson, offering a $9.9 million purse, with $1.782 million to the winner. The purse is a $400,000 bump from last year.

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 8-under 63 to finish at 23 under, three shots ahead of Sam Stevens and four ahead of another hometown favorite, Jordan Spieth.

Native Texan and World No. 1 player Scottie Scheffler takes a commanding 8-shot lead into Sunday's final round at TPC Craig Ranch.
