Scottie Scheffler is the best player in golf. And now the other 29 players at the Tour Championship are spotting him a two-shot lead. Shane Lowry says he's used to giving his friends a few shots at home. But he says his friends are not named Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.
Justin Thomas speaks during a news conference ahead of a practice round for the Tour Championship golf tournament, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024, in Atlanta. Viktor Hovland, of Norway, walks down the 10th fairway during a practice round of the Tour Championship golf tournament, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024, in Atlanta. Hideki Matsuyama, of Japan, walks to the 10th tee during a practice round of the Tour Championship golf tournament, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024, in Atlanta.
Players began hitting onto the adjacent 10th fairway for a clearer — and safer — shot to the green. That lasted all of two days. PGA Tour officials decided Wednesday to add white stakes so that shots on the 18th that go to the 10th fairway are out of bounds. “But I really like protecting the integrity of the design of the golf course, and I think that it would have been a pretty bad look on TV if you’re finishing a golf tournament and everybody is hitting it down the wrong fairway,” Kirk said.
