This is Scheffler’s third win in his career, his third win on the PGA TOUR this season, and his third win in his last five starts on TOUR. Scheffler is also the first player on TOUR to win three events this season. This season, his other wins are the WM Phoenix Open and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

This is Scheffler’s second consecutive year reaching the championship match, losing to Billy Horschel last year. He is also the first University of Texas graduate to win at Austin Country Club.

Scheffler shows no sign of stopping this dominant run, so watch out for him at Augusta National in two weeks.

Corey Conners defeated Dustin Johnson 3&1 to take third place in the event.

 

The PGA TOUR stays in Texas next week for the Valero Texas Open for the last tournament before the Masters, where Jordan Spieth will be defending his 2021 championship.

Who do you think will win at the Valero?
