Finally, Scottie Scheffler has won on the PGA Tour again.
The top-ranked golfer in the world, after months of finishing short in frustrating fashion, ran away with the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He posted a 4-under 66 in the final round at TPC Southwind in Memphis and ended up taking a massive eight-shot win over the rest of the field to kick off the PGA Tour's postseason.
Scheffler entered the week with five runner-up finishes under his belt this season, two of which were playoff losses. Though the 11 top-10 finishes he had racked up are hard to be disappointed about, Scheffler was getting close to completing a one-win season for the first time in years.
But quickly, Scheffler got back to old form and absolutely dominated the field in Memphis. By the time he reached the final stretch, after a birdie at the 13th, Scheffler's lead was up to seven shots. The tournament was over early, and he was back to winning without any doubt whatsoever.
Scheffler has now won 21 times in his career on Tour. He's just hte fifth golfer in the past four decades with multiple wins of eight or more strokes, too.
The top 70 golfers in the FedExCup standings qualified for the first postseason event this week, though only 68 golfers ended up finishing the week. Daniel Berger opted out, ending his season early, and Robert MacIntyre withdrew from the tournament after the first round. Now, the top 50 golfers will advance to the BMW Championship outside of St. Louis next week.
Here's a look at how much Scheffler and the rest of the field earned this week in Memphis.
