Scheffler Runs Away with St Jude Championship Title

Scottie Scheffler dominated the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday, turning a two-shot lead into an eight-shot victory, the largest in the tournament's 68-year history at TPC Southwind.

Scheffler ended nearly seven months without winning, a season marked by astonishing consistency but only one trophy from his season opener at The American Express. This was not close for long, Scheffler hit a bunker shot on the par-5 third that landed on a sprinkler head, took a hard hop and rolled through the green into the water for bogey.

He then made consecutive birdie putts on the fifth and sixth holes and never looked back. Playing in stifling heat with the most wind all week, Scheffler matched the best score Sunday with a 4-under 66. He finished at 17-under 263, eight shots clear of his Dallas neighbor Si Woo Kim, who closed with a 68.

This was Scheffler's second win and fifth top-4 finish in an impressive year that until Sunday was marked by his lack of winning compared to previous years. The TPC Southwind was the course he had played the most times without winning, and the FedEx Cup playoffs opener had been the only postseason tournament he had yet to win.
