etting the pace at East Lake Golf Club with a bogey-free 9-under 61, the Georgia native felt “at peace” with his game even if he had world No.1 Scottie Scheffler hot on his heels just two strokes behind.
Even Scottie Scheffler had to break out into a broad smile after watching his playing partner, Rory McIlroy, convert a 17-foot birdie putt on the home hole at East Lake Golf Club Thursday afternoon.
Scottie Scheffler erased a big deficit early, took the reins at the halfway point, held on like hell and delivered an exclamation mark at the end, capturing the BMW Championship for his fifth win of the season.
According to TaylorMade tour rep Adrian Rietveld, Scheffler wants “absolutely nothing inside” his driver’s clubhead that might alter performance in any way.
