Scheffler’s 82-Foot Chip Clinches Fifth PGA Win at BMW Championship

The world No. 1 erased a four-shot deficit, stretching his FedExCup points lead to nearly 4,000 ahead of next week’s Tour Championship.

Overview

  • Scheffler erased a four-shot deficit within five holes of the final round to surge into the lead at Caves Valley.
  • His chip-in from roughly 82 feet on the par-3 17th proved the decisive blow, delivering a two-stroke victory, his fifth PGA Tour win of the year.
  • The win stretched Scheffler’s FedExCup points lead to nearly 4,000, establishing him as the heavy favorite for next week’s Tour Championship.
  • Michael Cromie filled in on the bag for Scheffler because Ted Scott remained home for family reasons.
  • Robert MacIntyre relinquished his 54-hole lead with a three-over 73, vowing to “smash up” his clubs in frustration; England’s Harry Hall secured the final Tour Championship berth with a sixth-place finish.
