Top-ranked Scheffler storms to PGA Tour Championship win
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler produces a final-day charge to overhaul Viktor Hovland, finishing 16 under and sealing a three-shot victory.
Scottie Scheffler clinched an impressive victory at the PGA Tour Championship, his second win at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The world's top-ranked golfer overcame Viktor Hovland by four strokes, finishing the tournament at 16 under par and earning a $10 million prize. Scheffler's journey to victory started when he posted a four-under-par 66 on Sunday, closing the gap on Hovland's advantage.
Birdies on the 10th and 13th holes put him four under, and after a bogey on the 15th, he secured a two-shot lead with a spectacular birdie putt on the 16th. Hovland, who had previously won the 2023 Tour Championship, couldn't recover from his final-day struggles, finishing at 13 under. Scheffler's consistent birdie-making and clutch putts proved decisive, leaving Hovland trailing by three shots with only two holes left.
Rory McIlroy, who had been in contention after a strong Saturday round, finished five strokes behind Scheffler, while Tommy Fleetwood and Adam Scott tied for third place.
