FULL LEADERBOARD<\/a><\/p>\nHovland, who birdied the first two holes after a weather delay to draw level, narrowly missed a birdie putt on the last to clinch victory.<\/p>\n
World number one Scheffler, chasing his first PGA Tour win since The American Express in Southern California in January, rolled in an eight-and-a-half foot putt for par to ensure they remained level at 21-under-par.<\/p>\n
Scheffler had shot a 10-under-par 60 to lead after the second round and sat one stroke behind overnight leader Hovland on the final day.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian lost his advantage with a bogey at the first and was two shots adrift of the American after a birdie at the 13th when play was suspended at 5.57pm local time after heavy rain and lightning.<\/p>\n
But after an 83-minute delay, Hovland opened up with a pair of birdies and the pair matched each other with pars over the closing holes.<\/p>\n
Shane Lowry, who started the final round in fifth place and seven shots off the clubhouse lead, had his worst round of the week on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Offaly man posted a level-par 70, closing out with three bogeys in his final four holes, to finish tied for 22nd on 13 under-par.<\/p>\n
Two-time major winner Collin Morikawa posted a bogey-free nine-under 61 in the final round to finish one stroke back.<\/p>\n
Matt Fitzpatrick began the day tied for fifth and included eight birdies in his 64 to finish two strokes off the pace in fourth, two shots ahead of younger brother Alex Fitzpatrick, who hit successive 64s in his final two rounds.<\/p>\n
Last week’s US Open winner Wyndham Clark and fellow American Akshay Bhatia were in between them in a tie for fifth after final rounds of 68 and 66 respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland face a Monday play-off after finishing level in the rain-delayed final round of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-523890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
