Scheffler 2 back of trio at Byron Nelson

McKINNEY, Texas — Scottie Scheffler is looking up on the leaderboard at the AT&T Byron Nelson at a couple of contemporaries without nearly the resume the Dallas resident has built over the past 15 months.

In fact, Austin Eckroat and China’s Marty Dou are seeking a first PGA Tour victory.

The Oklahoma-raised Eckroat shot an 8-under 63, one better than Dou, and the pair shared a two-shot lead with Texan Ryan Palmer at 16 under after the third round of the Nelson on Saturday.

Scheffler was in the group at 14 under after the hometown favorite faltered with a bogey at the par-5 18th when his second shot hit the lip of a fairway bunker and stayed in it.

Palmer had an eagle putt for the outright lead on 18, but the 35-footer stopped just short, leaving him at 68.

LPGA: Defending champion Minjee Lee of Australia overcame an opening bogey for a 5-under 67 and a three-stroke lead, heading in the final round of the Founders Cup in Clifton, N.J. No. 6 in the world, Lee had four birdies and an eagle after dropping a stroke on the par-4 first at Upper Montclair Country Club. The 26-year-old had a 12-under 204 total in her bid to join Jin Young Ko as the only players to successful

LIV: Dustin Johnson finally looks to be getting his game back together, posting a 7-under 63 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead into the final round of LIV Golf Tulsa in Broken Arrow, Okla. Johnson, a two-time major winner and former No. 1 player in the world, won the points title in LIV Golf’s final season. But he has yet to finish closer than five shots of the winner in the five events of the Saudi-funded league this year. Champions: Robert Karlsson and defending champion Steve Stricker surged into the lead at the Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Ala., with Karlsson shooting a 9-under 63 to match the low score since this PGA Tour Champions major moved to its current venue.

DP World Tour: Swedish golfer Simon Forsstrom stayed on course for a wire-to-wire victory at the Soudal Open on the European tour by shooting 4-under 67 in the third round in Antwerp, Belgium. Belgium’s Thomas Detry was making a run at the title in his home country, however, after moving into second place — one stroke behind Forsstrom — with a round of 66.
