The victory was worth $4.5 million and sent Scheffler back to No. 1 in the world.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Scottie Scheffler took on the scary TPC Sawgrass as if he was playing alone. And by the time he got done with a masterful performance Sunday in The Players Championship, that's about how it looked.
When he poured in a 20-foot par putt on the final hole, Scheffler had the largest margin of victory in The Players since Stephen Ames won by 6 in 2006. Scheffler, who finished at 17-under 271, became only the third player to win at the TPC Sawgrass with all four rounds in the 60s. Hatton teed off two hours ahead of Scheffler, and he capped off his closing run of five straight birdies as Scheffler headed for the back nine. Hatton, the first player to shoot 29 on the back nine at Sawgrass on a Sunday, posed at 12-under 276.
Hatton, who started the final round 9 shots behind, finished off his five straight birdies with a 4-iron out of the pine straw and around the trees to 20 feet.Hideki Matsuyama was within 1 shot -- this was before Scheffler went on his birdie run -- only to take double bogey on the 14th, fail to birdie the par-5 16th and bogey the 18th. He was 7 under for the round through 13 holes and had to settle for a 68.
