Jacob Bridgeman won his first PGA Tour event at Riviera, securing a $4 million prize. Here\u2019s how the rest of the $20 million purse was paid out at this year\u2019s Genesis Invitational.<\/p>\n
So, how\u2019d he feel? \u201cAfter Thursday I did some pretty good stuff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Scheffler\u2019s week at Riviera, a place with which he has a \u201cweird relationship,\u201d began with a career-worst, 5-over start through 10 holes in cold, blustery conditions on Thursday afternoon. Luckily, Scheffler was saved by darkness, and he was able to get a couple shots back on Friday morning. After a first-round 74, Scheffler played his final 54 holes in 14 under, including playing Sunday in 6-under 65 with five birdies on his closing nine.<\/p>\n
Scheffler gained shots in every area except approach, as he ranked 36th of 72 players on the week. While Scheffler has been No. 1 in strokes gained approach each of the past three seasons, he was 51st on the year entering this week and has historically had some of his worst approach weeks at Riv. Only once in now six appearances at Riv has Scheffler ranked better than 17th in approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think going out early yesterday, the greens were a lot fresher, got to see some putts going in,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cWhen we went out on Thursday, the wind was blowing so hard and the greens were so bumpy and so fast, it was a complete crapshoot whether or not the ball was going to get in the hole. \u2026 So, it was really challenging going out there starting the way we did on Thursday, and then I start off the way I did, maybe press a little bit or whatever it may be. After that, I did a lot of solid stuff.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, I\u2019ve never been one to quit, so it\u2019s not really \u2013 I mean, I\u2019d feel pretty silly to quit in a PGA Tour event. Overall, being out here and competing, that\u2019s what I love to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scheffler is expected to compete again at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks at Bay Hill, where he\u2019s won twice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The streak is over.
