The world No. 1 holds a commanding five-stroke lead over the field, with Collin Morikawa having the best chance at chasing him down.
ATLANTA—If Collin Morikawa is getting a bit tired of seeing Scottie Scheffler on a golf course, it is certainly understandable.
Morikawa has an opportunity to put a tiny dent in that narrative, but he’s got a tall task during the final round of the Tour Championship, where he trails Scheffler by five strokes at the tournament that determines the FedEx Cup champion. There are monetary reasons for wanting to prevail on Sunday, as the winner banks a $25 million bonus with “only’’ $12.5 million going to the runner-up.
Making matters a bit more frustrating for Morikawa is the fact that he’s actually a shot ahead of Scheffler in raw score, having gone 66-63-67 to Scheffler’s 65-66-66. “Just knowing that where I was at the beginning of the year and where I am now, it's the same me but different,’’ Morikawa said. “Look, like I said, I've got 24 hours to just put everything I have, and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure we're prepped and ready to go. It is what it is, whatever happens tomorrow.’’
