Xander Schauffele celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary Sunday with a dramatic victory in the Travelers Championship.

The Olympic champion won with a three-stroke swing on the final hole, hitting to 3 feet for birdie after rookie Sahith Theegala took two shots to get out of a bunker and made a double bogey in the group ahead.

A stroke in front entering the day, Schauffele finished with a 2-under 68 at TPC River Highlands to beat Theegala and J.T. Poston by two strokes. Schauffele had a 19-under 261 total.

"My mind was telling me to hit a good drive and then use your sand wedge or lob wedge in there and make birdie," Schauffele said. "To sit there and watch what happened was a bit of a shock, obviously. I really had to try and focus on the task at hand."
