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.

, 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!
, 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 
! 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! 
. 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 
.
, 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 
, 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 
.
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 
. 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? 
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 
The kid's got game for days. And to think he was just getting started – I'm keeping an eye on this one...
. 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
