Vilips eyes another big pay day as Scheffler lurks
Australian rookie Karl Vilips is poised to achieve another big pay day on the PGA Tour at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas. Already a tour winner, the 23-year-old is eyeing a third top-10 finish in 11 starts this year after posting a two under 68 on Saturday to be tied 10th ahead of the final round. Vilips was at six under, seven shots behind joint leaders Ben Griffin (68) and Matt Schmid (68). That pair enjoy a four-shot lead from Rickie Fowler (67) as they prepare to battle in the final group on Sunday, well aware that formidable world No.1 Scottie Scheffler is lurking after charging with a 64 on Saturday. It's proving hard to separate American Griffin and Germany's Schmid as they have posted the same scores on each of the first three days - 66, 63 and now 68. Fowler will join the co-leaders in the final group Sunday when Schmid seeks his first PGA Tour victory and Griffin his first individual title after pairing with Andrew Novak to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans last month. The 36-year-old Fowler, who has dropped to 127th in the world after being in the top 25 as recently as early 2024, hasn't won since the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit that was his sixth victory and ended a four-year winless streak.

He would have been closer if not for three bogeys his last seven holes. But, with another big round on Sunday, he still has a chance to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win in three starts in a row. Robert MacIntyre and Lucas Glover also shot 64. MacIntyre was in a tie for fourth with Nick Hardy and Akshay Bhatia at 8 under. Scheffler, who teed off more than two hours before the co-leaders, was at 8 under after his eagle at No. 11, where he got on the green in two shots and made the 15-foot putt. That followed consecutive birdies as Nos. 9 and 10, and starting the back nine with an approach to 2 1/2 feet. But back-to-back bogeys followed after Scheffler hit tee shots into bunkers at Nos. 12 and 13. He got those strokes back with birdies at Nos. 16 and 17, only to miss the fairway at No. 18 to finish with another bogey. The only player to win the Byron Nelson and Colonial in the same season was Ben Hogan in 1946.

Karl Vilips could be one of the greats of Australian golf according to the coach who took Jason Day to world No.1
Karl Vilips put his child prodigy days behind him with a PGA Tour win in his rookie season and his coach says the young Australia is certainly something special and could be 'one of the greats'. Col Swatton, who steered Jason Day to world No.1, has been a key part of Vilips' team since his college days at Stanford and declared the 23-year-old Australian was 'definitely ahead of the curve' having already netted two professional wins, including a PGA tour breakthrough, in just 12 months since turning pro. Vilips is one of seven Australians teeing it up at this week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in North Carolina and in a final few sessions in Florida last week, Swatton reaffirmed his young charge had a 'superpower' that sets him apart from other young players. 'I think it's his maturity and his ability to process information but also be honest in what was happening with his game,' Swatton said. 'I reminded him of this before he came to Quail Hollow. I said his ability to be honest enough and brutal enough in what happens from a week-to-week perspective on tour ... that allows him to grow. I told him that was one of his superpowers. 'That questioning (of his game) allows him to be in a position where only a few are at his age.' A meeting at the start of the year where Vilips spoke about how he would play in one of the $30m Signature events at RBC Heritage, an event he wasn't qualified for and would likely need a win beforehand to get into, particularly struck Swatton. Vilips then went and won his first PGA Tour event in Puerto Rico that not only got him into the RBC but into the majors and secured paying rights in the US until the end of 2027. 'I thought to myself, he's a kid that saw himself somewhere months before it happened, and it's the law of attraction, what you will focus on will become your belief and your future,' Swatton said. 'I told him he will have a better career on the PGA Tour than he will at Stanford. From here on in it's a matter of trying to continually improve … but we also have to not be overzealous in our expectations.' Expectations are, however, growing for Vilips, who Swatton said was far more progressed than Day at the same age. 'He hasn't played that many professional events, but he's won two times in the past six months,' he said. 'He's definitely on a trajectory and a curve. I said to him it even took Jason Day three years to figure out how to win on the PGA Tour, he (Vilips) already has within his first four events. 'He is definitely ahead of the curve and he could be really, really special given the right environment, the right people around him, the right information, he could be one of Australia's great golfers.'
