Scheffler overcame a huge deficit as Jon Rahm at one point led the field by six strokes. However, a stretch on the back nine of six birdies, including four in a row from 14-17, proved enough to hold off Tommy Fleetwood by a stroke. The bronze went to Hideki Matsuyama, in the mix on the back nine until closing with six straight pars for a 65.
