AUSTIN, Texas – Any player will tell you victories at the PGA Tour level almost always come with a dollop of luck, and that’s even more apropos at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. Consider Xander Schauffele’s Day 3 match as an example of this truth.
Trailing Tom Hoge through 16 holes, Schauffele clawed even thanks to a particularly fortunate break at the par-3 17th hole, when he pulled his 9-iron left and it sailed over the green, caromed off a rock wall and rolled to 39 feet for an up-and-down par.
