Amidst the chaos, Scheffler battled gallantly

Despite a three-week paternity leave leading in, a headline-making/head-spinning traffic arrest hours before his second round and a substitute caddie during his streak-busting third-round, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler still posted a potential top-10 finish at the PGA Championship.

Scheffler rallied from his first over-par round since last August with a Sunday 65 to finish 13-under par at Valhalla Golf Club, climbing as high as T7 as he put himself in position to record his ninth straight and 10th top-10 finish in 11 starts in 2024.
