Scheffler wins at Bay Hill, Herbert top 10

Scottie Scheffler is starting to get the hang of what it takes to win on the PGA Tour, grinding out a one-stroke victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his second title in less than a month.

Overnight co-leader Horschel shot 75, after opening nine of 40, and tied for second along with Tyrrell Hatton (69) and Viktor Hovland (74).
