Scottie Scheffler came up agonisingly short in his bid for a third straight victory as Germany's Stephan Jaeger claimed his first PGA Tour title in the Texas Children's Houston Open. The world No 1 had to settle for a share of second place with defending champion Tony Finau, Thomas Detry, Taylor Moore and Alejandro Tosti, who bogeyed the last to drop out of a share of the lead.
' Asked about his birdie putt on the 18th, a disappointed Scheffler said: 'I didn't think it was going to move very much and I tried to hit it straight and I feel like I started right in the middle and looked like it broke off pretty hard, so just a misread. 'I put up a good fight, felt like I had some weird breaks this week. I hit two really good shots into 18 to give myself a chance and I feel like I made the putt and I looked up and it was breaking off.
