Declarations of 'here we go again,' echoed around Valhalla, mingled in with the cheers.<br/><br/>It was a sure sign that even the sleepless nights of new parenthood weren’t going to put an end to the Scottie Show.<br/><br/>Four more birdies sank but uncharacteristic bogeys at the fifth and 14th, saw him head into the clubhouse at four-under alongside defending champion Brooks Koepka. <br/><br/>It sits him five shots back of Schauffele in the lead at nine-under but not far back enough to diminish his threat.<br/><br/>The Texan is probably used to his peers looking to him for tips and tricks but after a new addition to the Scheffler household last week, the roles were reversed. <br/><br/>Many of his peers congratulated him after he rocked up in Louisville for his practice round Monday with the likes of Tiger Woods and Max Homa offering him word of wisdom on parenting, which included getting sleep and being nice to his wife. <br/><br/>But after even the sleepless nights of new parenthood couldn't keep him off the first page of the leaderboard, they may find themselves congratulating him for a different reason on Sunday.
