Scottie Scheffler assessed his performance Sunday at the Cadillac Championship in typical Scottie Scheffler fashion: straight-forward with no frills.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like I couldn\u2019t really get anything going. I was hitting it decent enough. Just putts were going kind of around the hole. Tough to get a lot of momentum. I hit it pretty nice to start, just didn\u2019t hole the putts I needed to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Scheffler birdied Nos. 15-17 to scrap out a 68 and a second-place finish at Doral \u2014 six shots behind winner Cameron Young. Next up: a week off and then his title defense in the season\u2019s second major at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo home tonight hopefully and get ready for the PGA,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of positives. Some stuff I can clean up, but overall definitely some positives from the last few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was Scheffler\u2019s third consecutive runner-up on Tour. He rallied to finish one back of Rory McIlroy at the Masters and lost in a playoff to Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage.<\/p>\n
Though he hasn\u2019t had a win since his season-opening American Express, it\u2019s been a lucrative stretch for the world No. 1. His latest check of $2.18 million pushed him over $110 million in official career PGA Tour earnings and closer to Rory McIlroy at No. 2. McIlroy, however, will be competing in the upcoming Truist Championship, another no-cut, $20 million signature event.<\/p>\n

1. Tiger Woods: $120,999,166
2. Rory McIlroy: $114,696,641
