Scottie Scheffler reeled in overnight leader Robert MacIntyre to win the BMW Championship, taking advantage of the Scot’s shaky start in Maryland.
The world number one began the final day four shots behind but was in front by the seventh hole and finished two clear, chipping in at the 17th during a rollercoaster climax of frayed nerves.
MacIntyre opened with back-to-back bogeys and dropped a further stroke at the fifth. Another shot would go before a solitary birdie on the third-last green.
Struggling to find the fairways at Caves Valley, the chance of a third PGA Tour victory for the left-hander slipped away as Open champion Scheffler showed his mettle and class – despite a few uncharacteristic slips on his way to a three-under-par 67, taking him to 15 under for the week.
MacIntyre, runner-up at the US Open and tied for seventh at the Open, had been 16 under after rounds of 62, 64 and 68, but came home in 73 for the runner-up spot, two shots ahead of Maverick McNealy.
