He carded a last round 6-under 66, to end up at 15-under, 5 strokes ahead of runner-up Wyndham Clark.
Scheffler made a putter modification today and his deal with the greens have actually improved every day. He changed to a mallet-style flat stick, and things clicked into location.
After the preliminary, the previous Texas Longhorn ranked No. 55 in strokes got putting. He went up to No. 28 after Friday. Saturday got back at much better for him on the greens, going up to No. 10.
Scheffler sank all 16 of his putts Sunday inside 15 feet. That's an exceptional task.

It's widely comprehended that if Scheffler can effectively utilize his flat stick, beating him is almost difficult. He is currently among the very best ball strikers ever, and now the putter is fuming.

It had actually been practically a year given that Scheffler won an approved PGA Tour occasion– in 2015's Players Championship.
Technically, he took home the Hero World Challenge title, however that didn't make him any FedEx Cup points. While his most affordable surface in 2024 is a T17, his challengers seeing him putt well once again needs to seem like a gut punch. They had a possibility while he had a hard time to drop putts, and now, it practically appears unreasonable.
This X user pulled this gif out of his hat to compare Scheffler to Happy Gilmore, which is a best contrast.
Shane Bacon is likewise onto something with his entire “turning golf off and simply seeing the number of Scheffler wins by later on” concept.
The PGA Tour has 2 occasions going on this weekend, so switching on the Puerto Rico Open to see how it ends up might be more amusing with Scheffler throttling the field.
I believe we have actually gotten to the “I feel comfy turning the golf off and examining the number of shots Scottie wins by later tonight” part of this Scheffler exhibit.
