Scottie Scheffler has won the FedEx St. Jude Championship, his first victory since January. He finished 17 under par, eight strokes ahead of runner-up Si Woo Kim. Scheffler shot a final-round 4-under-par 66 to secure the win at TPC Southwind.
According to Golf.com, Scheffler had a "horrible break" on the 3rd hole but managed to fight back and claim the victory. Scheffler himself said he felt like he had been "on repeat" all year, playing solidly but not quite getting the wins. He attributed his success to being "really sharp with the irons" and rolling the ball well on the greens.
Rory McIlroy, the world No. 1 at the time of his second Masters win earlier this year, had a difficult week, finishing 66th, 25 shots behind Scheffler, according to Gulf News and BBC Sport. McIlroy said he "felt lost" with his golf swing and admitted he was "so far away from where I need to be".
