Thanks in part to an absolutely wild chip-in down the stretch at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, Scheffler overtook Robert MacIntyre to claim the BMW Championship on Sunday afternoon.

It took longer than expected to complete his comeback win at the second-to-last tournament of the season, but at the second-to-last hole he secured his latest title with a flourish.

Scheffler closed with a 3-under 67 for a two-shot victory and became the first player since Tiger Woods (2006-07) to win at least five times on the PGA Tour in consecutive years.
