Scheffler Ends Streak with Historic Win | Fayetteville News

Scottie Scheffler shattered his winless streak with a jaw-dropping eight-shot victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, his 21st career title and first since the American Express. After a scare on Sunday when a bunker shot hit a sprinkler and went into the water, he bounced back with two birdies in three holes and a final-round 66 to seal the deal. The win marks the largest margin at TPC Southwind in 68 years and extends his streak of closing out tournaments when holding a 54-hole lead. After five runner-up finishes in seven months and frustration over bad luck, this victory silenced doubters and solidified his dominance. He earned $3.6 million plus $23 million in FedEx Cup bonus money, keeping his lead in the standings and boosting his chances for a fifth straight PGA Tour Player of the Year award. Meanwhile, others like Im advanced to the BMW Championship, while Keith Mitchell and Jordan Spieth narrowly missed the cut — but for Scheffler, this win was pure redemption.
