- World No 1 finishes five shots clear of field
- Scheffler claims third major of his career
Just another Scottie Sunday. Major number three for Scottie Scheffler, the first outside Augusta National and the latest stride towards golfing immortality. A year on from being bundled into a police cell during his last attempt to lift the Wanamaker Trophy, Scheffler took no prisoners. Dancing to the jailhouse rock. Jon Rahm swung and missed at the new US PGA champion before capitulating under sheer frustration. Nobody else seriously featured.
Scheffler earned himself $3.4m (£2.5m) plus further daylight between himself and the rest at the summit of the world rankings. The most remarkable thing about Scheffler is how unremarkable he makes all this seem. This is a golfer who has walked up to the 72nd green of a major holding six-, five- and four-shot leads. He has no experience of anxiety in such scenarios because of his own ability to steady the ship as others waver.
