On the 21st (local time), at the Harbour Town Golf Links (par 71, 7,213 yards) in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA, during the 15 holes of the 4th round of the PGA Tour RBC Heritage (total prize money $20 million), Scheffler posted 4 under par and surged ahead with a 5-stroke lead (20 under par). He started off on a high note with an eagle on the 2nd hole (par 5), then added two more birdies on the 5th and 13th holes. Due to bad weather followed by sunset, the match was suspended after he made par on the 15th hole (par 5).
Scheffler, leading by 5 strokes, has effectively 'sealed' his second consecutive win following last week's Masters victory. Winning this tournament would mark his 4th victory of the season and 10th career win. He has competed in 9 tournaments this year, recording 3 wins and finishing in the top 10 eight times, showing great momentum. His worst result was a tie for 17th at the American Express in January. In his last four tournaments, his finishes have been 'win-win-tied 2nd-win.'
Wyndham Clark and Patrick Cantlay (both USA), among others, are tied for 2nd place (15 under par) with four players. Justin Thomas (USA) and Ludvig Aberg (Spain) are tied for 6th place (14 under par). From Korea, Im Sung-jae showed resilience by lowering his score by 4 strokes to rise to a tie for 12th place (11 under par, 273 strokes). Kim Joo-hyung and Kim Si-woo remained at even par, tied for 18th place (9 under par, 275 strokes). Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) is tied for 33rd place (7 under par, 277 strokes), and An Byeong-hun is in 67th place (2 over par, 286 strokes).
