The 26-year-old is now the reigning champion of the Masters and the TPC. The only other golfers to hold those two titles at the same time were Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Scheffler will take back the No 1 world ranking, even though he said on Saturday it was “just an algorithm” he didn't place much stock in.Hatton carded Sunday’s best round at 7-under 65. When he finished, he was within range of Scheffler, but only if the leader tanked down the stretch. Instead, Scheffler expanded his lead to six shots after reaching the round’s midway mark with a three-shot advantage.
Hatton had birdies on the last five holes as part of a 29 on the back nine. That was the lowest back-nine score in a final round in the tournament's history. “Seems like every week he’s right there with a chance to win,” Hoge said. “Just that consistency I think more than anything speaks to how well he's playing.”
