Jaeger, a first-time winner, was one shot better than world's No. 1 player.

Scottie Scheffler had his chances to become the first player to win three straight PGA Tour tournaments since Dustin Johnson accomplished the feat in 2017. Unfortunately for Scheffler, the pesky problems that have kept him from even greater dominance reared their collective head again, allowing Stephan Jaeger to walk away victorious at the Texas Children's Houston Open.

Jaeger posted back-to-back four-under 66s on the weekend to follow up on his 69-67 to open the tournament. The 34-year-old, playing in the 134th event of his career, did his work early on Sunday with birdies on Nos. 3, 4, 8 and 9 before parring every hole on the back nine. He avoided a bogey on No. 13 by rolling in a 19-footer and was unflappable, even as the best player in the world and a bottlenecked leaderboard breathed down his neck.

With the victory, Jaeger now sits 10th on the FedEx Cup Playoffs point list. This was the breakout performance in what has been an extremely impressive season to this point. After finishing T-18 at the Sony Open, he put together T-3 finishes at the Farmers Insurance Open and the Mexico Open.
