World No.1 Scottie Scheffler has overturned a five-shot deficit to become the first player to successfully defend The Players Championship in the tournament’s 50-year history. Scheffler carded an eagle and six birdies in a flawless closing 64 at Sawgrass to finish 20 under par — a shot ahead of US Open champion Wyndham Clark, British Open champion Brian Harman and overnight leader Xander Schauffele.
Clark’s unlucky putt lips out. Clark birdied the 16th and 17th to keep his hopes alive but agonisingly lipped out for another birdie on the last that would have forced a play-off. Commentator Dan Hicks exclaimed: “Unbelievable. How did that not drop?” “I don’t know how that putt doesn’t go in,” Clark said afterwards. “Even when it kind of lipped, I thought it would lip in. I’m pretty gutted it didn’t go in.
