Scottie Scheffler erased a four-shot deficit in five holes and then delivered the dagger with a chip-in birdie from 81 feet at the par-3 17th Sunday at the BMW Championship. He closed with a 3-under 67 for a two-shot victory, securing his fifth PGA TOUR title of the season and becoming the first player since Tiger Woods (2006-07) to win at least five times on TOUR in consecutive years. “Great battle all the way through,” Scheffler said. “Did a good job of staying patient and executing when we needed to.”

Scotsman Robert MacIntyre, who held the lead after each of the first three rounds, closed with a 73 to finish solo second. MacIntyre led by four shots to begin the day, but bogeyed three of the first five holes to let Scheffler into the tournament. It’s the third time in Scheffler’s career that he’s overcome a four-shot deficit and won.

Scheffler leads the field of 30 players who advanced to the TOUR Championship, set for this coming week at East Lake, and is looking to become the first repeat FedExCup champion since the series began in 2007.

Rickie Fowler came up short in his effort to make the top 30, as did Michael Kim, who dropped out of the top 30 after a bogey at the 17th hole. Harry Hall was the lone golfer to play his way into East Lake with a solo-sixth finish. Lucas Glover began the week at No. 30 but dropped to No. 36.

“I try not to take days off. I try not to take shots off. When it gets to this time of the year it can be a little bit tiring. Today was a grind, and I think it just has a lot to do with the intensity we bring to each round and each shot.” – Scottie Scheffler after winning the BMW Championship for his fifth win of the season.
