Scheffler, thanks in part to an absolutely wild chip-in down the stretch at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, overtook Robert MacIntyre to claim the BMW Championship on Sunday afternoon. The top-ranked golfer in the world posted a 3-under 67 in the final round of the FedExCup Playoffs stop to grab a two-shot win over the field.

The win was Scheffler’s fifth of the year, making him the first player since Tiger Woods to win at least five times in consecutive years.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Robert MacIntyre ducked his head under the branches and climbed into a mess of bushes behind the fifth green without a golf club, first seeing if he could find his ball and then deciding if it was worth trying to play it.
