HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Masters champion Scottie Scheffler winning the RBC Heritage on Monday morning was inevitable. It felt that way at the start of the week, too.
Scheffler had a five-shot lead and three holes to play in the rain-delayed tournament. He made a meaningless bogey on the final hole for a 3-under 68 and a three-shot victory over Sahith Theegala at Harbour Town.
He won for the fourth time in his last five starts and became the first player since Bernhard Langer in 1985 to win the week after capturing the Masters green jacket.
Now he has a plaid jacket from the RBC Heritage, extending a dominant run not seen on the PGA Tour since the peak years of Tiger Woods.
