“I was feeling all right. I wasn’t playing my best, but I was kind of hanging in there. I was looking forward to giving myself some opportunities at the end, but then the horn went off.
“I think you kind of get into the rhythm of the round and then the horn goes off, it definitely stinks and nobody wants to deal with that, but I think it’s just part of it.
“Then going into tomorrow, just keep doing what I’ve been doing all week and just go out and try to play good golf.”

Play was suspended due to storms in the area and will continue Sunday morning.
Fellow American Xander Schauffele briefly caught up to Scheffler and like him still has six holes left to play. Ten other players have yet to complete their rounds.
“I had a few moments where I lapsed today, which I wasn’t very happy with,” said Schauffele. “Just giving it my best, my 100 percent focus tomorrow. Not that I wasn’t trying today, I just wasn’t all there on certain shots, which I’m not super happy about, but I will sleep on that and then regroup for tomorrow.”
