Scheffler Leads RBC Heritage After Darkness Halts Play

Scheffler will play the final round of Harbortown through fifteen holes. The latter three can be considered formal. Due to weather, the RBC Heritage final round will take place on Monday, ET at Harbortown Golf Links, where leader Scotty Scheffler will compete.

With five stars, Scheffler starts his fourth victory on the PGA Tour. He turned an unlikely second shot on the PAR-4, 15th into a memorable one on Sunday beneath the setting sun. He rebounded with a spectacular wedge to 11 feet. To keep a five-stroke lead over Patrick Cantley, Sahith Thigala, J.T. Poston, and Wyndham Clark, play at PAR.

Due to the postponement of the final round, Scheffler shot 20-under for the competition as he pursued a fourth PGA Tour victory.

This season’s alternate unscheduled finish on the PGA Tour will take place on Monday. Austin Eckrott won the first PGA Tour title since The Palm Strands Conscious Classic. The alternate, unscheduled stint of the season will take place on Monday. The winner of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was Wyndham Clark.
