Scottie Scheffler has not lived up to his own ridiculously high standards so far in 2025, but the world number one was at his brilliant best in the first round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Thursday.

The top-ranked Scheffler outshined fellow hometown star Jordan Spieth with the former Texas Longhorns paired together along with Si Woo Kim, a South Korean who also calls Dallas home and was showcased in an event sponsored by CJ Group, a conglomerate based in his home country.

The Byron Nelson is in a weather delay with Scottie Scheffler halfway through his second round and still holding the two-shot lead the hometown favorite had to start the day
