ATLANTA – It may still be the third round, but Xander Schauffele is getting the drama started early Sunday at the Tour Championship.
After play was halted Saturday when six fans were injured from debris following a lightning strike to a tree on the 16th hole, the third round resumed at 8 a.m. ET.
Schauffele wasted no time making a charge, with a birdie at the par-4 eighth, and then stepped on the tee at the long par-3 ninth. Prior to Sunday, only Chez Reavie had ever recorded a hole-in-one at No. 9, and it came during Friday's second round.
