Even Tiger Woods never managed more than 12 consecutive top 10s. And it looked like Scheffler would continue the streak after posting a back-nine 31 and a final-round 65 to climb into the top 10. Again. But not so fast!<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Fleetwood wound up vaulting past Scheffler thanks to an eagle hole out from 173 yards on No. 15. And Cameron Young birdied his final three holes to move past Scheffler. Those events wound up dropping Scheffler down into a T-12 to end his remarkable run at 18 straight top 10s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean I\u2019ve never been one to quit so it\u2019s not really\u2014I mean, I\u2019d feel pretty silly to quit in a PGA TOUR event,\u201d Scheffler told reporters after. \u201cOverall, being out here and competing, that\u2019s what I love to do and, like I said, got to go out early yesterday on some fresh greens, get a little bit less wind. It\u2019s easier playing in the morning than it is late in the day. Took advantage of it. Then I had another solid day today.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A T-12 at a signature event is a solid result as well. And if that\u2019s considered a bad week for Scottie Scheffler, then he\u2019s still doing a lot right. <\/p>\n<p>RELATED: Scottie Scheffler matches Tiger Woods with incredible scoring feat<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on golfdigest.com<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The most drama on Sunday at Riviera may have actually been a little ways down the leaderboard at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[4225,64,63,755,138747,44,85],"class_list":["post-499131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-article","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-golf-digest","tag-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
