Scottie Scheffler is tied for the lead at Colonial. Throw in another win on Sunday and a career heater suddenly turns into one of the great seasons of the last four decades. His T15 at the AT&T Byron Nelson felt like a complete failure, which should tell you the level at which he's been playing. He finished T55 at The Players before two more victories at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and, of course, at the Masters. He followed a win at the Phoenix Open with a T7 at the Genesis Invitational and another victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. His last two months have been almost comical. Scottie Scheffler (-11): Scheffler was out of the conversation for two brief days at Southern Hills a week ago when he missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but other than that blip, he's completely owned the season. Let's take a better look at what's at stake on Sunday with Scheffler in Fort Worth as he tries to continue what has to this point been an absolutely dream season. In other words, this lead is sustainable on Sunday given the gap between Scheffler and a fairly average chase pack, as well as how wonderfully he's hitting the golf ball. Scheffler leads the field from tee to green, and while he's putting it well thus far, it hasn't been an all-time heater over the first three rounds. Colonial is not necessarily tailor-made for the reigning Masters champion - he's failed to finish in the top 50 in two starts here - but his lead is no fluke.

While this is not abnormal for Scheffler this season, it is a different experience than he's traditionally had on this golf course. He birdied the first two on that side and closed with another one at the last to guarantee himself a spot in the final pairing on Sunday afternoon. Scheffler got off to a tepid start with 8- and 6-foot par putts on the first two holes, and he shot an even-par 35 on the front before rolling on the back. It didn't look like that would be the case for much of the day.

Scheffler will go for his fifth win of the year on Sunday at Colonial Country Club after firing a 2-under 68 on Saturday, giving him a two-stroke lead over Brendon Todd and Scott Stallings. This week's Charles Schwab Challenge has turned into a microcosm for 2022: Scottie Scheffler leads, and everybody else is chasing him.
