Scottie Scheffler produced an incredible final-round comeback to pull clear of a star-studded leaderboard and successfully defend his title in a historic Sunday at The Players. Scheffler - who had been struggling with a neck injury - overcame a five-stroke deficit during a memorable final day at TPC Sawgrass, carding an eagle and six birdies in a stunning bogey-free 64 to finish on 20 under.
The world No 1 wasted a five-foot birdie look after a brilliant tee shot at the par-three 13th but edged into the solo lead when Schauffele carded back-to-back bogeys from the 14th, with Scheffler birdieing the par-five 16th to move into the solo lead for the first time. Scheffler safely negotiated the par-three 17th and then came agonisingly close to a birdie at the last, with a par setting the clubhouse target at 20 under with the closest challengers still having holes to play.
