Spieth and Scheffler have long been linked. Both are from Dallas and both would have overlapped at the University of Texas had Spieth not turned pro as a sophomore. They still play a lot of golf together and Spieth uses those rounds to measure where his game is.

Scheffler is currently the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, and he leads The Byron Nelson by nine strokes on the back nine of the final round. He's 30 under par for the tournament, while Spieth finished Sunday with a nine-under-par 62 and sits in third place for the weekend at 19 under.
