SCHEFFLER WINS IT!
Scheffler’s clutch up and down at the last has won him the title. What a player this guy is. He has triumphed for the fifth time this year – despite not even playing his best.
Big win. Big fist pump. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 pic.twitter.com/Q6jydEACllJune 9, 2024
Both players have short par putts of around three-four foot. If Scheffler makes his he will be champion.
