Scottie Scheffler has work to do to secure an unprecedented second straight FedEx Cup title. More precisely, he needs better work. The World No. 1 and defending champion rebounded from a dyspeptic start to shoot a four-under 66 Saturday in the third round of the Tour Championship.

Scheffler earned 2,000 points for winning at the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., sparked by a startling chip-in from 82 feet at the par-3 17th hole. Robert MacIntyre had a four-shot lead through 54 holes but didn't make a birdie until the 16th hole. He still trailed Scheffler by only one shot before Scheffler's chip-in.

Last week at the BMW Championship, Scheffler summoned the services of Michael Cromie. Cromie typically works alongside Chris Kirk but when Kirk's season concluded at the St. Jude Championship, Cromie had availability and a relationship with Scott which helped move the partnership forward.
