Scheffler wins back-to-back titles

World No 1 Scottie Scheffler became the first man to win back-to-back Players Championships with a superb eight under-par-64 on Sunday, giving him a one-stroke victory at TPC Sawgrass. 

Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman and Xander Schauffele all finished a shot behind Scheffler, with Clark going agonisingly close to forcing a playoff with Scheffler.

All three of the challengers in the all-American battle needed birdies on the 18th and Clark was distraught after his 17-foot birdie putt lipped out.

That left Scheffler, waiting on the range at 20-under, to celebrate his historic achievement of consecutive wins at the Ponte Vedra Beach course as he followed up his victory at Bay Hill last week with another display of his consistency.

Scheffler entered the final round trailing overnight leader Schauffele by five shots but got his charge underway with an eagle on the par-4 fourth. — SuperSport.
