ATLANTA — Masters champion Scottie Scheffler might have had a roller coaster of an opening round Thursday at the Tour Championship if only he had been paying attention to the scoreboards.
Scottie Scheffler took a vice-like grip of the Tour Championship, as Rory McIlroy endured a roller-coaster day at East Lake. World No. 1 Scheffler began the final event of the PGA Tour season with a two-stroke lead, by virtue of topping the FedEx Cup standings.
The final event of the PGA Tour season, yes we know it is only August, is upon us and Scottie Scheffler is the hot favourite to win the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup riches that come with it. As world No. 1, Scheffler can justify being at the head of the market for that reason alone.
After a season that has seen 35 different players enter the winners’ circle on the PGA Tour, it all boils down to the Tour Championship at East Lake. Since the FedEx Cup’s inception in 2007, 13 players have got their hands on huge riches in the season-ending event. Ad Only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are multiple winners, with the latter looking for a hat-trick of victories.
World number one Scottie Scheffler will make his Presidents Cup debut for team U.S. this year against an International team that could be without British Open champion Cameron Smith who has been linked with a move to the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
Patrick Cantlay produced nerveless golf down the back nine to successfully defend the BMW Championship, and also put himself in prime position to become the first player to defend the Tour Championship. Cantlay has played steady rather than spectacular golf all season, but at the business end he found the perfect time to win his first individual title of the season (he won the Zurich Classic alongside Xander Schauffele). Ad The 30-year-old was pushed hard all the way by Scott Stallings, but a birdie on 17 and par on 18 helped him secure the win.
There’s a new sheriff in town. Will Zalatoris’ win in the FedEx St Jude Championship saw him leapfrog Scottie Scheffler to the top of the FedEx Cup standings. After near misses in majors and a string of top-10 finishes, Zalatoris got over the line to beat Sepp Straka in a play-off at TPC Southwind.
MEMPHIS, Tennessee: J.J. Spaun hopes he’s only getting started on the road to the FedEx Cup finale. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth will have to wait another week.
