Scottie Scheffler delivered a master class in composure and precision Sunday, storming to his third major title with a dominant victory at the PGA Championship. Under pressure and facing fierce challengers, golf ’s world No. 1 turned a tense final round into a statement win, reminding the world why he sits atop the sport.
Scheffler held off surging competitors like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau with ice-cold execution on the back nine of Quail Hollow. Even when the leader board tightened, with Rahm briefly catching him at the turn, Scheffler responded with champion’s poise. His final-round 71 may have included a closing bogey, but by then, the outcome was all but decided.
He pulled away with a surgical sequence of fairways and greens, turning what once looked like a back-nine battle into a coronation. In the end, Scheffler hoisted the Wanamaker Trophy by a commanding five shots, becoming the first golfer since Seve Ballesteros to win his first three majors by at least three strokes each.
Whether it was his 2022 Masters breakthrough, last year’s repeat at Augusta, or this latest triumph, the pattern is clear: when Scheffler is in the hunt, he doesn’t just win , he dominates.
