Scheffler Dominates, MacIntyre's Dreams Shattered at BMW Championship!
Scottie Scheffler has clinched the BMW Championship in dramatic fashion, securing his fifth PGA Tour victory of the season! Robert MacIntyre, who held a commanding four-shot lead going into the final round, saw his hopes dashed as Scheffler surged ahead with a stellar performance.
The final round at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland was a rollercoaster. MacIntyre struggled early, opening with back-to-back bogeys, allowing Scheffler to capitalize. Scheffler's impressive chip-in on the 17th hole sealed the deal, leaving MacIntyre to lament what could have been.
"I got off to an absolutely horrific start," said MacIntyre. "Right now I want to go and smash up my golf clubs, to be honest with you."
Scheffler's final-round 67 propelled him to a 15-under finish, two strokes ahead of MacIntyre. Maverick McNealy finished third, while Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns tied for fourth.
Key Moments from the BMW Championship:
