Scottie Scheffler news conference after winning BMW Championship

Written by Staff

Scottie Scheffler erased a four-shot deficit in five holes and then delivered the dagger with a chip-in birdie from 81 feet at the par-3 17th Sunday at the BMW Championship. He closed with a 3-under 67 for a two-shot victory, securing his fifth PGA TOUR title of the season and becoming the first player since Tiger Woods (2006-07) to win at least five times on TOUR in consecutive years. “Great battle all the way through,” Scheffler said. “Did a good job of staying patient and executing when we needed to.”

Scheffler leads the field of 30 players who advanced to the TOUR Championship, set for this coming week at East Lake, and is looking to become the first repeat FedExCup champion since the series began in 2007.

Rickie Fowler came up short in his effort to make the top 30, as did Michael Kim, who dropped out of the top 30 after a bogey at the 17th hole. Harry Hall was the lone golfer to play his way into East Lake with a solo-sixth finish. Lucas Glover began the week at No. 30 but dropped to No. 36.

Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious for the fifth time this season (18th time overall) at the BMW Championship, marking his 12th victory in the last two seasons. In a come-from-behind fashion, Scheffler earned $3.6 million alongside the FedExCup haul of 2,000 points. Ultimately, this just expanded Scheffler’s stranglehold on the top spot in the FedExCup standings heading to the TOUR Championship. See the full breakdown of what each player took home from Caves Valley in the second FedExCup Playoffs event.
