Scottie Scheffler will turn to a familiar face to carry his bag on Sunday.
With Ted Scott unexpectedly returning home to Louisiana to attend to a private family matter, fellow caddie Brad Payne will be on Scheffler’s bag for the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
Payne also caddied for Scheffler during the third round of last year’s PGA Championship. Payne, the PGA Tour’s chaplain, served as the replacement for Scott while the latter attended his daughter’s high school graduation.
Scheffler closed with birdies on Nos. 16 and 18 on Saturday to post a 5-under-par 65, tied for the best round of the day at TPC Southwind. He resides at 12-under-par 198 for the tournament and sits two strokes behind leader Tommy Fleetwood of England entering play on Sunday.
The world’s top-ranked golfer, Scheffler is vying for his fifth victory of the season.
He is set to tee off at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
