"Bogey-free is always nice," Scheffler said after the round. "I would have liked to have gotten a couple better looks down the stretch, but didn't hit as many fairways the last few holes, and out here with the way the holes are shaped, you've got to be in play. Did a good job of saving pars when I needed to on the back."
Scheffler and MacIntyre will tee off at 1:45 p.m. ET on Saturday.
