Scottie Scheffler one off lead on return at American Expressin La Quinta

Scottie Scheffler Honeys his Game with a Breathtaking 63 at the American Express.

World number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, began his PGA tour season in style as he carded an impressive nine-under-par 63 in the first round of the American Express tournament held in La Quinta, California. The young American has been away from action for a while, having missed out on several tournaments this year and now looking to make up lost ground.

Scheffler's incredible performance saw him land himself one off the lead at the American Express, with Min Woo Lee of Australia and Pierceson Coody of the United States sitting in joint first place. Fellow countrymen Robert MacIntyre and Jason Day were also just a stroke behind Scheffler on nine under.

In what seems like a twist, the field for this tournament played across three different courses before the cut took place on Saturday. But it looks like Scheffler's hot streak has finally returned, with him posting birdies five out of six holes in his round. Coody, on the other hand, went from strength to strength during his back nine.

Scheffler will certainly be looking to maintain his lead as he navigates the course for the rest of the tournament. The win would not only earn him a handsome prize but also put him one step closer to reclaiming his top spot in the golf rankings.

Wow , Scottie Scheffler is on fire ! 63 in the first round is just insane ️, I don't think anyone saw that coming . His hot streak has definitely returned and he's looking to keep it going throughout the tournament . This is amazing news for golf fans everywhere , can't wait to see what happens next!

omg that 63 is insane , like how did he even do that? and poor Coody who had to live up to the hype lol anyway gotta respect Scheffler for coming out of nowhere and taking the lead, but we'll see about this hot streak lasting all week

Scottie Scheffler is back on fire ! I mean, a 63 in the first round of the American Express? That's just insane ! He's been out of action for a while and now he comes back like this? Wow. The guy must be raring to go! And it's not just him, Coody was on fire too . But you know what? Scheffler has the potential to take it all the way . If he can keep this up, watch out for him in the golf rankings .

omg I'm so glad to see Scottie back on form , this 63 is insane!!! he's been out for ages and it was starting to look like he was going through a slump but he totally smashed it today! now he just needs to keep up the pressure and maybe even win this whole thing ... can't wait to see what the rest of the tournament has in store for us

come on , 63's just gonna get lost in the weeds of this golf season... guys are gonna be putting out all sorts of garbage scores and he's just having a "good day" lol... sure, it's great for him and all, but we've seen this before. he's still got a long way to go to prove himself after being so inactive. 9 under's not bad, but I'm pretty sure the competition's gonna be too much for him soon enough

Scottie Scheffler is on fire ! 63 is insane, I mean who else can do that? It's like he's got all his old form back and then some. But gotta wonder how did it come back so quickly after a break from golf. Hopefully he can keep this momentum going throughout the tournament .

omg what a comeback for scottie scheffler he's been out for ages but now he's on fire 63 at american express is insane, I'm loving every minute of this tournament so far Min woo lee and pierceson coody are giving him some serious competition tho, can't wait to see how the rest of it plays out

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

Dude, have you seen this? Scheffler just went from nowhere to almost the lead in like 2 hours . I'm no expert, but it's like he was waiting for the right moment to unleash his beast mode. And what's with this crazy course schedule? Playing across three courses before the cut? That's not a coincidence, bro... it's a setup . Maybe they wanted him to get warm and cozy in that 63, you know? The other top players, MacIntyre and Day, just happened to be in hot pursuit... yeah right . And what about Coody's incredible back nine? Coincidence or part of the plan?

I'm still trying to process how low 63 is! I mean, that's like shooting a golf ball into a pin from like, 500 yards away haha . Scottie Scheffler has been on hiatus for so long and now he just comes back like a boss! He's like the ultimate golfer, you know? Always up to something impressive. And wow, Min Woo Lee and Pierceson Coody are giving him some serious competition too! I wonder what their strategies will be for the rest of the tournament...

omg this guy scottie scheffler is on fire just 9 under par at the american express and he's already got himself one off the lead that's some insane golf right there! i'm loving the comeback story, he was out for a bit but now he's back and better than ever it'll be super interesting to see how he holds on throughout the rest of the tournament.

I'm loving this comeback story from Scottie Scheffler ! He was missing all the big tournaments, and now he's back with a bang. That 63 at American Express is insane! Did you see him sink birdies on like five of his first six holes? The kid's got game for days. And to think he was just getting started – I'm keeping an eye on this one...

man that's insane! scheffler is on fire! 63 is wild, like whoa... he needs to keep it up tho, can't let the pressure get to him. coody's game is looking sharp too, but i'm loving scheffler's momentum right now . gotta see how the rest of the tournament unfolds, but if he keeps this up, who knows? maybe he'll be back on top soon

omg, 63 is insane ! i mean, scottie scheffler has been gone from tour for a bit and now he just comes back like this? it's not even realistic . but seriously, gotta respect the dude. those birdies five out of six holes? that's some magic . but what i wanna know is, will he be able to keep up this pace or was this just a fluke ?
