Cameron Young and J.J. Spaun Part of Another 5-Way Tie for the Lead in the Bahamas

Scottie Scheffler shot 6-under 66 with a new driver after two months off, joining four others in a five-way tie for the lead at the Hero World Challenge.

  • At the Hero World Challenge, Scheffler returned Thursday and shot a six-under 66 to share the first-round lead, with very little changed.
  • Scheffler had taken two months off to work on his game to rid bad habits and acknowledged there was 'clear rust' after the layoff, with only a new driver as an equipment change.
  • Scheffler's round featured birdies on four of the six scoring holes and ended with a chip that ran across the 18th green, ending a streak of 41 consecutive holes without a bogey.
  • Coming off a successful season, Scheffler's return at the Hero World Challenge highlights his focus on next year's preparation, with the event serving as a key early tune-up.
  • At the same event, Straka said, "I haven't played in a while," and used the Hero World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods to get back into competition, while Bhatia holed a bunker shot for eagle and played bogey-free.
