Inevitable Scheffler Marches On Again

World No. 1 overcomes four-shot deficit with dramatic 82-foot chip-in at 17th hole

- 

OWINGS MILLS, Maryland – More and more, golf commentators and fellow PGA Tour pros are calling Scottie Scheffler "inevitable."

The world No. 1 did nothing to quash those rumors on Aug. 17. It took longer than expected to complete his comeback win at the second-to-last tournament of the season, but at the second-to-last hole, he secured his latest title with a flourish.

Scheffler pitched in from 82 feet for birdie at the 17th hole and held on to defeat Scotland's Robert MacIntyre by two shots at the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club.

Scheffler posted a three-under 67 to finish 15-under 265 at the second leg of the FedExCup playoffs. He had little trouble surpassing MacIntyre, the sole leader after each of the first three rounds, who struggled to a three-over 73.

MacIntyre, who totaled just three bogeys over the first three rounds, bogeyed three of his first five holes on Aug. 17 to squander a four-shot lead.
