Scottie Scheffler won The American Express tournament, securing his 20th PGA Tour victory. He concluded the tournament with a four-shot lead, despite a double bogey on the 71st hole.
This achievement places Scheffler among a select group, as he is now the third player in the modern era, alongside Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, to record 20 PGA Tour wins and four major championships before the age of 30.
His career earnings on the Tour have also surpassed $100 million, joining Rory McIlroy and Woods in this milestone.
Scheffler's Tournament Performance
Scheffler's performance during the tournament highlighted his putting, where he ranked 18th in strokes gained: putting and first in putts per green in regulation. This differed from his typical strength in approach play, where he finished 47th in strokes gained: approach for the week.
Amateur Blades Brown Impresses
Eighteen-year-old amateur Blades Brown finished tied for 18th at The American Express. Brown's journey included playing his way into the final group alongside Scheffler after rounds of 67, 60, and 68 in his first 54 holes.
His participation followed a demanding schedule, having competed in The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour just before The American Express, which required him to travel from the Bahamas to La Quinta, California, within approximately 24 hours.
Brown's appearance in a PGA Tour final group at his age, immediately after completing high school, was a notable event.
