Golf: Scottie Scheffler has produced a flawless final round to win the Arnold Palmer invitational.
Scheffler wins post flawless final round | 01:35World number one Scottie Scheffler cruised to a five-stroke victory on Sunday at the PGA Arnold Palmer Invitational to capture his first tour victory in nearly a year and a $4m USD winner’s prize.
It was Scheffler’s seventh career PGA Tour triumph and his first since last year’s Players Championship — a title he will try to defend this weekend. While he’s racked up a host of top-ten finishes in the last year, putting woes have cost him title after title. “As we made the turn on the back nine, I knew I had a few shots lead. I didn’t look at many leaderboards. I stayed in my own little space and just tried to keep pushing.”Scheffler matched the low round of the week and the 27-year-old American became the first reigning world number one to win at Bay Hill since Tiger Woods in 2009.
“Scottie should win almost every year here. With his ball striking, this golf course is so demanding tee to green and he’s been the best last few years in that category, so I’m not shocked.” “Anyone can pop up and win an event here or there or get on a good run, but the consistent performances that Scottie’s been putting in week in and week out every time he tees it up, it is incredible.
“Any time you can win Arnie’s tournament it’s pretty special,” Scheffler said of the event’s legendary namesake. “He meant a lot to the game of golf. It’s truly an honour to win here.”
