Scottie Scheffler capped off a dominant PGA Tour season by winning the FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship, beating playing partner Collin Morikawa.
The world number one went into the final round of the season with a two-stroke lead and never gave up the lead at any point throughout the tournament, although the seven-stroke lead was temporarily reduced to two on the final day.
Scheffler won the tournament with three consecutive birdies and a four-under 67 to finish the weekend at 30 under. With the win, he became the first player since Tiger Woods to win seven times in a PGA Tour season.
He finished four shots ahead of Morikawa with a final-round 64, including an eagle, five birdies and three bogeys, while Sahith Tigala finished third, ahead of Russell Henley, Adam Scott and Xander Schauffele.
How Schaeffler Won the FedEx Cup

Collin Morikawa played with Scottie Scheffler on the final three holes.
Scheffler failed to get out of the sand to save par on the fifth hole, but matched Morikawa's birdie on the next par 5 when he bounced out of a greenside bunker and hit a tap-in to within tap-in distance, but the lead was cut significantly over the next two holes.
The Masters champion missed a 5-foot par putt on the seventh hole after getting bouncing off a tree, the first time he had failed to make a putt from that distance this week, then botched a bunker shot next to a driveable par 4 to record his second consecutive birdie.
