Scottie Scheffler wins the Phoenix Open as Irish challenge fades during final round

Scottie Scheffler held his nerve to edge out Canadian Nick Taylor during the final round of the Phoenix Open in Arizona.

Scheffler hit a fourth round of 65 to seal victory on 19 under, two shots clear of Taylor and regain the World Number 1 ranking. It is the American's first victory since he won the Masters at Augusta in 2022. John Rahm finished third some 5 shots off the lead.

It was a frustrating day though for the Irish contingent as Seamus Power and Rory McIlroy failed to make much of an impact during the final round. It was even worse for Offaly's Shane Lowry as he failed to make the cut.
