Scottie Scheffler hoists his four-month-old son, Bennett, in celebration of his FedEx Cup victory on Sunday.
AMasters green jacket and an Olympic gold medal. A first-time father and his first time being arrested. A year Scottie Scheffler won't forget ended the best way possible Sunday when he won the FedEx Cup to cap golf's best season in nearly two decades.
"If you can describe it in words, more power to you," Scheffler said after a four-shot victory in the Tour Championship for his eighth win of the year. "Because I don't think I can." His clubs spoke volumes.
Scheffler, who led by as many as seven shots at East Lake early in the final round, nearly hit a tee shot out-of-bounds on No. 7 for bogey.
He followed that with a shank from the bunker on the reachable par-4 eighth that led to another bogey. His lead was down to two shots over Collin Morikawa.
Facing the par-3 ninth, a hole that had yielded only nine birdies in the tournament, Scheffler hit 4-iron to five feet for the first of three straight birdies that sent him to a 4-under 67 and the FedEx Cup trophy with its $25-million (U.S.) prize richest in golf.
"All I'm trying to do is hit a good shot," he said. "This year, I've been able to do that a lot." The victory pushed his season earnings, including bonuses, to $62.3 million.
