PGA Tour, BMW Championship and Scottie

Despite the frustration, MacIntyre had a window back into the tournament after Scheffler three-putted the 14th and the Scot birdied the 16th to get within one. That’s when Scheffler pulled off his magic at the 17, and MacIntyre’s hopes were dashed.
Scottie Scheffler erased a four-shot deficit in five holes and then delivered a haymaker on the daunting par-3 17th by chipping in from 82 feet for birdie that carried him to victory Sunday in the BMW Championship for his fifth PGA Tour title of the year.
Hours before winning the BMW Championship, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was playing lacrosse with friend and fellow tour pro Sam Burns.
While factual and fresh, it’s strictly academic to state that Scheffler banks 2,000 FedExCup points for the win at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, because he was a lock to advance to the TOUR Championship long ago. What’s new is the $3.6 million in earnings that the FedExCup points leader grabs from a purse of $20 million.
