Scottie Scheffler made every important putt to build a 3-shot lead at the turn then poured it on with a game so complete he closed with a bogey-free, 6-under 66 -- the lowest score by 2 shots at Bay Hill in the final round.
figured the simple solution to his putting struggles was to quit trying so hard. That's what he did at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and it wasn't a fair fight.
"Part of the problem is just trying too hard," Scheffler said."It's frustrating to not have the best of myself, just because I know that I can putt really well. It's not like I've been a bad putter my whole career. I've just gone through a stretch where it's been tough.Scheffler finished at 15-under 273 and won $4 million from the $20 million purse of this signature event. It was his seventh career win, all against some of the strongest fields.
"He showed today why he's world No. 1," said Lowry, who started the day tied for the lead and never had a chance. Lowry finished with three birdies and seven pars over the last 10 holes for a 72 to finish third.Clark did the best at trying to stay close, and he was two shots behind through eight holes. But it all turned so quickly. Clark drove into the rough and made bogey on the ninth hole and then didn't make another birdie until the par-5 16th.
