Scottie Scheffler has claimed his second PGA Tour title in a thrilling victory at the Tour Championship, capping off a remarkable season that has seen him rise to the top of the FedEx Cup standings.
Scheffler, who won the WM Phoenix Open earlier in the year, put in a dominant performance at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, finishing with a score of 26-under-par to claim the $15 million prize.
The victory was not only a testament to Scheffler’s skill and determination, but also to his resilience in the face of adversity. Earlier in the season, Scheffler had to withdraw from the Masters due to a positive COVID-19 test, but he quickly returned to form and never looked back.
Throughout the Tour Championship, Scheffler displayed a level of consistency that was unmatched by his competitors. He carded rounds of 65, 67, 68, and 66 to finish ahead of runner-up Patrick Cantlay, who finished with a score of 24-under-par.
With the win, Scheffler also claimed the FedEx Cup title, which is awarded to the player who accumulates the most points throughout the PGA Tour season. The FedEx Cup title is one of the most prestigious honors in golf, and Scheffler’s victory is a clear indication that he is one of the top players in the world.
Scheffler’s success this season can be attributed to his hard work, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. He has been a consistent performer on the PGA Tour, and his victory at the Tour Championship is just the latest example of his ability to rise to the top when the pressure is on.
