ORLANDO, Fla.—Scottie Scheffler was losing ground and losing his mind Saturday at Bay Hill, and he wasn’t alone at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

This was a day to stay patient, not only because of the severe conditions of firm greens and wind gusts, but because Will Zalatoris threatened to pull away when he built a five-shot lead. Scheffler was six shots behind when he walked off the 11th green.
