Scottie Scheffler’s news conference after winning the Procore
Written by Staff, PGATOUR.COM
Making his tournament debut at the Procore Championship, Scottie Scheffler carded a final-round, 5-under 67 to earn a one-stroke victory. Scheffler entered the third round at Silverado Resort eight behind before turning on the jets with a third-round 64 to get within two of Ben Griffin’s lead. On Sunday, Scheffler made the turn in 32, then nearly holed his approach shot on the par-4 10th hole to erase the deficit. He took his first solo lead of the tournament after Griffin, his fellow U.S. Ryder Cup teammate, bogeyed the 14th hole. Scheffler finished with a one-stroke lead before Griffin had a 60-foot eagle putt on the final hole for an opportunity to capture his third win of the year. He three-putted to miss out on a playoff, and Scheffler earned his sixth TOUR win of the year.
Lanto Griffin, the 37-year-old TOUR veteran, rocketed up the leaderboard with a 65 to finish third. Griffin jumped from No. 142 to No. 100 in the FedExCup standings. This is the first year that only the top 100 keep their TOUR cards, and Griffin was emotional while recalling his journey from back surgery in 2022 to climbing back from a frustrating season this year. Auburn junior and No. 1 amateur in the world Jackson Koivun, who played in the final group with Griffin, shot a final-round 71 to finish T4, his third straight top-10 finish on the PGA TOUR. Koivun has already earned his TOUR card through PGA TOUR University Accelerated but chose to defer membership for another season of college golf.
Scheffler joins Ben Crenshaw, Ernie Els, Tom Kite and others as players with 19 TOUR wins. “It's pretty weird to be in the same realm as those guys just because I've looked up to them for such a long time,” said Scheffler. “Yeah, it's been a nice last few years. I feel very fortunate to be sitting here holding the trophy.”
