John Pak Takes Three-Shot Lead Over Scottie Scheffler at Charles Schwab Challenge

John Pak delivered a remarkable performance at the Charles Schwab Challenge, taking an early three-shot lead with a bogey-free 7-under 63, highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 10th hole. Pak's round included five birdies and was described as his best putting day of the year, showcasing his calm and determined play. World number one Scottie Scheffler, fresh off a major win at the PGA Championship, opened with a solid but less spectacular 2-under 68, citing challenges with fairway accuracy and tough course conditions. Despite missing several fairways, Scheffler remained optimistic about improving in the coming rounds. Other notable players, including Tommy Fleetwood, Brian Harman, and a group tied for second place at 4-under, kept the competition close. Pak's strong start positions him as a significant contender in the tournament, while Scheffler aims to continue his impressive winning streak.
