Another Scottie Scheffler procession. The world No 1’s year finished in fitting style, with a five-shot direct on the 18th tee at the Hero World Challenge. Scheffler cantered to a ninth triumph of 2024, with that statistic not even the most remarkworthy element of recent months after the 28-year-elderly was arrested promptly before he was due to commence his US PGA Championship.
With all matters pieced together, we are unmistrustedly living in the times of Scottie Scheffler. He is the Masters champion, an Olympic gelderly medacatalog and heading for an 82nd consecutive week at the summit of the world rankings. Scheffler will remain there for some time yet; he has set uped himself among the fantasticest iron carry outers in the history of this game.
Success at Albany came by half a dozen. Scheffler signed off in style, his approach to the 18th from 172 yards setting up a basic birdie. It repartner is not supposed to be this basic. A 63 uncoverd a 25-under par total and back to back Hero successes. Scheffler’s highest round of the week was 69. Among those to laud Scheffler was Tiger Woods, on hand as the tournament present. Scheffler’s current domination of golf is Woods-esque.
“It has been a fun year,” shelp Scheffler with more than a hint of downcarry outment. “I have only mirrored a little bit but it has been pretty surauthentic. I don’t carry out for legacy and that charitable of stuff, I equitable cherish competing. I don’t skinnyk about records, accomplishments, I equitable come out here and try to get the best out of myself. Golf is a pretty difficult game.
“I do my best to stay in the current. I am very appreciative for the thrives but when I go home, I am seeing forward to doing skinnygs that don’t join golf.”
Justin Thomas was denied his first thrive in more than two years. A tugged drive into water at the last even denied Thomas, the 54-hole directer. second place. Tom Kim instead finished as the far runner-up to Scheffler. “I experience very, very shut,” shelp Thomas. “I equitable insist to keenen some skinnygs up. I insist to get the scoring clubs a little bit keener and better. I experience enjoy my mid irons and iron game is shut to where I want it, but if I can equitable get those wedges back where I experience enjoy they should be, skinnygs will be outstanding.”
Keegan Bradley supplied further evidence he may well qualify for his own US Ryder Cup team by finishing fifth. Ludvig Åberg, fit aget, took sixth, one place ahead of Robert MacIntyre.
