Scottie Scheffler added another layer to his legend Sunday becoming the first player to win The Players Championship on consecutive occasions in 50 years.
Already the best in the world, Scottie Scheffler added another layer to his legend Sunday. He became the first player to win back-to-back in 50 years of The Players Championship by matching the biggest comeback and the lowest closing round by a winner. Scheffler holed out for eagle from the fourth fairway and had four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn, sending him to an eight-under 64 and a one-shot victory that wasn't decided until the final putt.
His 64 matched the lowest final round by a Players champion, last done by Davis Love III in 2003, and he tied Justin Leonard with his five-shot comeback. “I’m a pretty competitive guy, and I didn’t want to give up in the tournament,” Scheffler said. “I did what I could to hang around until my neck got better. Today it felt really good.
