PGA Tour: At the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, Adam Schenk and rookie Harry Hall are tied for the lead after Schenk made a 16-foot birdie putt on the last hole.
After 171 tries, Schenk’s putt helped him finish with a three-under round of 67, improving his chances of eventually winning on the PGA Tour.
“It was a lot of luck making that putt,” the Indiana native, 31, who had only one bogey during the third round at Colonial CC. It broke with a foot and a half and moved really quickly.

“We just managed everything really well; it was one of those days where I hit it right where we were looking. Although it doesn’t happen frequently, it is pleasant when it does.”
Following back-to-back bogeys on the sixth and seventh holes, Hall, who had taken the lead by a single stroke after the first two rounds, battled back to finish with a 72 and tie Schenk for second place.
He chipped from the edge out of an uncomfortable posture that left his heels hanging over the lip of a bunker, and his final putt was a 10-foot par at the last.
After temporarily taking the lead with a 40-foot birdie on the 16th hole, Harris English finished the day one shot down at nine under after just missing his par putt on the 18th.
Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 and runner-up from last year, bogeyed three of his final five holes for a 72 after shooting straight 67s to start the round. He is one of six players tied for 10th place at four under.
Sam Burns, the defending winner, shot his second consecutive 70 and sits seven strokes off the lead at three under. Last year, Burns overcame a seven-stroke deficit in the final round.
Emiliano Grillo shot a 20-foot eagle putt on the first hole, but after that, he picked up a double bogey, two bogeys, and a 72 to finish six under par. He now shares fourth position with Justin Suh going into the final round.
