Both players flew their tee shots at the 17th hole over the green. Scheffler, playing first, plopped his shot out of heavy rough, landing on a downhill slope 65 feet short of the hole. The ball rolled, rolled, then rolled more, finally dying in the hole to ignite the gallery and leave MacIntyre looking at Scheffler in disbelief.

Of course, we didn’t need Scheffler hunting down Robert MacIntyre from four back at the start of the day to claim the BMW Championship to know all that. Or that it was Scheffler’s 12th-consecutive top-10 finish in a PGA Tour event.
