Scottie Scheffler won The American Express, finishing on 27 under par, four shots ahead of his nearest challengers.<\/p>\n

Scheffler struck the ball into the water on the 17th hole, which led to a double-bogey, but he was already so far ahead that he could weather that to card a six-under 66 in the final round and take the title.<\/p>\n

The world No 1 has started the year in style – this was his 20th victory on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

“I did a good job of staying patient and executing when I needed to. It was another really solid day on the course,” Scheffler said.<\/p>\n

“I always dreamed of being able to play on the PGA Tour and it’s a blessing to be out here and compete. It’s an even bigger blessing to be able to win some tournaments.”<\/p>\n

Jason Day, Ryan Gerard, Matt McCarty and Andrew Putnam were all tied for second place on 23 under par.<\/p>\n

Teenager Blades Brown made his name at this event and was one off the lead going into the final day. He did, though, fade on Sunday with a two-over 74, finishing on 19 under and tied in 18th place.<\/p>\n
