HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — A Masters green jacket wasn't enough for Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler was running on emotional fumes fresh off his four-shot victory at Augusta National, but full of purpose that more than made up for his lack of preparation for the RBC Heritage. The result not only was similar, it has come to be expected.
Victory was inevitable — Scheffler had a five-shot lead with three holes to play when the final round, delayed 2 1/2 hours because of storms Sunday afternoon, was suspended by darkness. It's starting to feel that way whenever he plays. “Even though I finished second, I felt like I was never really in it to win there. Scottie was just so far ahead,” Theegala said.
The good news for the rest of the PGA Tour: Scheffler won't show up again until the PGA Championship the third week in May. He headed back home to Dallas, where his wife his expecting their first child sometime next week. About 400 spectators waiting along the 18th fairway were allowed to fill a corner of the grandstands as Scheffler approached. He turned and waved his cap toward them after tapping in his final stroke of another masterpiece.
