Scottie Scheffler moves to no 1 after WGC-Dell Match Play win

Scottie Scheffler has become the new world number one after defeating Dustin Johnson and Kevin Kisner to claim the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play title.

Runner-up to Billy Horschel at last year's event, Scheffler had to beat former champions in both his semi-final and final but he established early leads in both contests and refused to relinquish control. He also defeated the in-form Seamus Power in the last eight.

In securing his third PGA Tour title in just six weeks, the 25-year-old American will rise from fifth to first in the standings, ending Spain's Jon Rahm's time at the summit of the game.

Scheffler said on Sky Sports: "I couldn't be happier.

"Getting denied here in the final last year was definitely tough and it would have stung even worse having to do that two years in a row but I just kept my head down and kept playing some good golf."
