View full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler bagged his sixth win of the year as he came from behind to deny Ryder Cup<\/a> team-mate Ben Griffin at the Procore Championship in California.<\/p>\n The world No 1 fired a final-round 67 to clinch victory by one shot over long-time leader Griffin, whose challenge floundered despite a red-hot start on Sunday.<\/p>\n Scheffler<\/a> was just two shots behind overnight following his superb Saturday 64, and that gap increased when Griffin raced out of the blocks with three straight birdies.<\/p>\n But Griffin’s bogey at the 4th was a momentum killer, and Scheffler went calmly about his business to apply the pressure, picking up three front-nine birdies in his outward 32.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n With US Walker Cup<\/a> star Jackson Koivan, playing with Griffin in the final pairing, unable to maintain his bid for a rare amateur win, the inward run developed into a two-horse race.<\/p>\n Scheffler gouged a wedge out of the thick rough to tap-in range at the 10th to tie the lead, but he then three-putted the next before atoning for that error with another birdie at 12.<\/p>\n The PGA<\/a> and Open<\/a> champion led outright when Griffin ended a run of nine consecutive pars with a bogey at the 14th, and the top two both birdied the long 15th.<\/p>\n Scheffler was unable to make birdie at the par-5 18th after finding sand with his drive, but a solid par kept him at 19-under and left him an anxious wait to see if Griffin could close with a 4 to force a playoff.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Ryder Cup rookie Griffin did find the green in two blows, but his long-range putt for eagle pulled up six feet short and his next effort for the tie grazed the left edge of the cup to confirm Scheffler as champion.<\/p>\n “Overall it was a good prep week getting ready for the Ryder Cup,” said Scheffler. “As far as the tournament went, I did some good stuff over the course of four days, especially over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I felt like my game got better as the week went on and played some really nice golf Saturday and Sunday to be sitting here.”<\/p>\n Four of the 10 Team USA players in the field finished inside the top-10, and Scheffler believes the bodes well for Bethpage.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n “It was definitely nice to see some of my team-mates on the leaderboard,” he added. “Ben and I had a good battle today and the guys definitely stayed sharp this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I always focus as much as I can on my preparation going into tournaments, that’s what gives me confidence, and I feel like I’m as prepared as possible for the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n “I think we’re all excited for the tournament to get started. We’ve got three days in New York to compete and have fun. We’re all looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n Koivan picked up a couple of late birdies to card a 71 and earn a tie for fourth on 16-under, which was one shot better than JJ Spaun after the US Open<\/a> champion closed with an impressive 66.<\/p>\n Cameron Young<\/a>‘s 67 got him into the top-10 on 12-under, with Sam Burns<\/a> two shots further adrift after he was also 5-under par for the final day.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Subscribe to our Newsletter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rank Player Score R4 1 Scottie Scheffler -19 67 2 Ben Griffin -18 70 3 Lanto Griffin -17…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-142719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
