Scottie Scheffler's streak of rounds under par came to a stunning end in the Houston Open. Scheffler was 2 under for the day. He nearly holed a bunker shot on the 18th hole. And then he lipped out his 6-foot par attempt. But when tapping in, Scheffler missed a 22-inch putt. The double bogey gave him an even-par 70.

He got back to 2 under for his round with a superb approach to 4 feet for birdie on the 17th. “Obviously, a sloppy mistake there at the last,” Scheffler said. “I missed the first one, I was frustrated, and hit the second one a little quick. It happens.”
