NASSAU, Bahamas — Scottie Scheffler has made great gains in his putting. Add that to the rest of his top-ranked game, and he made it look easy Sunday.
He closed with a 4-under 68 for a 3-shot victory in the Hero World Challenge. Scheffler, a runner-up in the Bahamas the previous two years, played bogey-free at Albany and didn't let anyone get closer than 2 shots on the back nine as he ended the year with his fifth victory worldwide.
The Hero World Challenge is an unofficial event, though its 20-man field receives world ranking points, and Scheffler only solidified his spot at No.
1. The week wasn't a total loss for Tiger Woods, the tournament host playing for the first time since surgery to fuse his right ankle a few weeks after the Masters in April.
