ATLANTA — Exactly five weeks from now, the United States and Europe will be dueling through the singles matches of the Ryder Cup. If there's any justice in the golf world, Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele will go head-to-head in that match, with the Ryder Cup on the line.
That make spared Hovland what would have been just his third bogey of the week, and kept Schauffele three strokes back. Two holes later, he rolled in a 10-foot birdie to extend his lead back to four. He followed that up with a birdie on the 17th, and at that point, the engraving on the FedEx Cup trophy began. One long stroll down the sloping 18th of East Lake later, and the Tour Championship, the FedEx Cup, and an $18 million check were all his.
Schauffele, by this point, has a closet full of bridesmaid's dresses to go with his Olympic gold medal. He's still without a major, having finished as high as T2 in both the Masters and the Open Championship. But he's played with an uncanny steadiness, particularly at East Lake. In 28 rounds, he's never shot over par. After winning the event in 2017, he's finished second twice, T2, fourth, T5 and T7.
