Scottie Scheffler never ceases to amaze, does he?

Even when Scheffler is nowhere near his best, he’s still streets ahead of most other PGA Tour players.

The 28-year-old has 15 PGA Tour wins to his name and has safely tucked away three major championships.

Legendary status is now well within his reach for Scheffler, and nobody would be surprised to see him go on and rack up over 50 regular tour wins and at least 10 majors.

Perhaps what makes him so great is his innate ability to grind out decent rounds when he is a long way from his best.

Scheffler jumped back inside the top-10 at the Charles Schwab Challenge this week after a great round on Saturday.

But it is what he did before Saturday’s round that was maybe even more impressive.

Scottie Scheffler’s first two rounds at Colonial were so unlike him

The 28-year-old didn’t seem like himself at all on Thursday and Friday at Colonial.

Scheffler posted two extremely uncharacteristic rounds of 68 and 71.

The Texan drove the ball poorly, hitting only 15 of 28 fairways. His putting wasn’t as on-point as it usually is either.

He averaged two putts per green in regulation on Friday, and that is unheard of from Scheffler.

The PGA champion looked mentally and physically jaded, and he was making silly errors that we never usually see him make.

We have become so used to seeing Scheffler shoot in the mid-60s without breaking a sweat, but it just wasn’t happening for him during the first two rounds.

In fact, he was so poor that it seemed like he might miss the cut at one point.

Scheffler continues incredible made cuts streak

The three-time major champion got the job done in the end, and made the weekend in Fort Worth, Texas.

And in typical Scheffler fashion, he posted a 64 on Saturday to vault himself back into contention.

Scheffler has now made a remarkable 55 cuts in a row.

That’s not unheard of, but only six golfers in the history of the game have made more consecutively.

Only six players have made more consecutive cuts than Scheffler now.

Tiger Woods leads the pack, with a remarkable 142 cuts made in a row between 1998 and 2005.

Then comes Byron Nelson on 113, Jack Nicklaus on 105, Hale Irwin on 86, Dow Finsterwald on 72 and Xander Schauffele on 64.

There’s every chance that Scheffler, and Schauffele for that matter, will leapfrog Finsterwald on the list within the next 12 months.

The Dallas native is just so incredibly solid that something drastic would have to happen in order for him to miss out on playing weekend golf.
