Scottie Scheffler showed everyone on Sunday why he’s the No. 1 player in the world when he stormed back at TPC Sawgrass to win his second straight Players Championship.
Scheffler fired a final round 8-under 64 and then had to wait to watch three players attempt birdie putts on the 18th hole that would have forced a playoff.
The last miss came from Wyndham Clark, and it was a heartbreaker, as the the ball circled the cup and somehow didn’t fall in the hole. Scheffler didn’t see that putt until he was on the Golf Channel’s postgame show, and he had a perfect reaction to it:
"I'm sure this won't be the last time this year that we're both on top of the leaderboard battling it out."

“That’s tough,” Scheffler said.
Yes, yes it was.
