SAN DIEGO -- Scottie Scheffler has gotten so used to winning that his 6-under 66 on Sunday to finish tied for third at the Genesis Invitational isn't quite good enough for the top-ranked player in the world.

"I think I feel pretty bad about where I'm at," Scheffler said when asked about his performance since returning from right hand surgery that sidelined him for the PGA Tour's first four weeks. "I'm trying to stay patient with myself, which can be tough because I have high expectations."

After winning eight times on Tour in 2024, including the Masters, there was much anticipation for Scheffler's debut this year.
