BMW championship: Scottie Scheffler claims the fifth victory of the PGA Tour season after the advance of Robert Macintyre Squanders | News Golf
Scottie Scheffler won a fifth victory of the PGA Tour season after Robert Macintyre wasted a lead of four strokes in the final of the BMW championship.
The advantage of Macintyre’s night has disappeared in the first five holes of a last eventful day at the Valley Golf Club cellars, where Scheffler capitalized on his slow start to jump up.
Scheffler gave hope to Macintyre with two Bogeys at the start of his new back, but followed a Birdie in the 15th with a sensational jet of the 17th green, before closing a last round 67 to finish the week on the 15th.
The three more than 73 of Macintyre saw him finished finalist in front of Maverick McNealy, who finished four shots, with Sam Burns briefly inside the head until a Bogey-Bogey finish dropped him to the fourth equal alongside Tommy Fleetwood.
Harry Hall in England jumped in the top 30 in the Fedexcup ranking and qualified for the touring championship after finishing in sixth place, while Rory McILroy sorted out four of his last eight holes to save a level 70 level and end equal to the 12th.
How Scheffler tore Macintyre’s victory
The Macintyre cushion was immediately divided by two with a two -stroke swing at first, where he missed a seven feet to save by while Scheffler fled the same distance for Birdie, the night leader also falsified the four.
Scheffler tripped on a three -stroke bogey in the third, but ended up after another swing at two strokes in the fifth, the n ° 1 in the world while making a sterly while Macintyre found the Greenside bunker on the way from another stroke.

Tommy Fleetwood did a lucky birdie during the last round of the BMW championship-but did a fly helped his ball in the hole?
The momentum fell the path of Scheffler to the 17th par-three, where he is designed sensitively from the Greenside Rough for an unlikely birdie, giving him a two-stroke buffer by four.
Scheffler found the final green in regulation and delayed his stewing putt at the TAPS range, with one sufficient to fill an 18th victory of the PGA Tour and become the first player from Tiger Woods to win five times or more in consecutive seasons.
“When it happens at this time of year, it can be a little tiring,” said Scheffler. “Today was a version, and I think it just has a lot to do with the intensity that we bring to each turn and each time.”
The six qualifications for the team of the Ryder Cup of Team USA were confirmed after the final round, Russell Henley, Bryson Dechambeau and Harris English joining Scheffler, JJ Spaun and Xander Schauffele in the automatic places of the team of Keegan Bradley.
Schauffele failed to settle in the Top 30 in the Fedexcup ranking and progress to the season tour championship, with Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Jason Day among the other players to miss.
Bradley will appoint his six captain choices on Wednesday August 27, after the final of the PGA Tour season. The European Ryder Cup qualification campaign ends at the Betfred British Masters from August 21 to 24, with the DP World Tour the only means remaining for players to win qualification points.
