PGA TOUR

Scottie Scheffler erased a three-shot deficit on the way to winning the season-ending Tour Championship by three shots. It is the second time in his career he has won the FedEx Cup title, and he joins Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods as the only players to win multiple titles. The victory was also worth $10 million, which elevated Scheffler to the top of the all-time list, surpassing Tiger Woods, who had held the No. 1 spot for almost 26 years. Scheffler began his charge by nearly holing his tee shot at the second hole. He caught leader Viktor Hovland with a 25-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole and took the lead for good with a birdie at No. 13. The victory is Scheffler’s third of the year and second in the last three weeks. He joins Chris Gotterup, Matt Fitzpatrick and Wyndham Clark with three wins this season. The win could also tip the scales in Scheffler’s favour when it comes to PGA Tour Player of the Year, which he has won the last four years. Hovland notched his third top-5 finish at the Tour Championship, and it was only the second time in seven opportunities he did not go on to win after being the leader through three rounds. Ryan Gerard was solo third, his fourth top-3 finish of the season. Three-time FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy finished in a tie for fourth, his sixth top-5 finish on the PGA Tour this year and third in his last five starts. …The conclusion of the Tour Championship also confirmed the first six qualifiers for the International Presidents Cup squad. Corey Conners finished seventh on the points list and will have to wait until Sept. 1 to find out if he will be one of the six captain’s picks.

Team Canada member Brady McKinlay finished tied for third, his best career result in three seasons as a pro and his second top-10 finish of the season.
