Scottie Scheffler shot four final-round rounds of 66 to win his 20th PGA Tour title at The American Express. | golf news

Scottie Scheffler won the American Express at 27 under par, four strokes ahead of his closest challengers.

Scheffler hit his ball into the water on the 17th hole and made a double bogey, but was already so far ahead that he was able to shoot a final round 66 and win.

The world number one has had a great start to the year. This was his 20th win on the PGA Tour.

“I did a good job of being patient and executing when necessary. It was another really solid day on the course,” Scheffler said.

“I’ve always dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour. It’s a blessing to be able to go out here and compete. It’s an even bigger blessing to be able to win some tournaments.”

Jason Day, Ryan Gerard, Matt McCarty and Andrew Putnam all tied for second at 23 under par.

Teenager Blades Brown made a name for himself in this event and was out of the lead until the final day. But he shot a 2-over 74 on Sunday, putting him in a tie for 18th at 19 under.
