Hovland putter stutters, Scheffler unchallenged wins 2nd Tour Championship....Final Results

  PGA Tour Championship  FedExCup Leaderboard  Results

Scott Scheffler doesn't need any help, but all his challengers faltered on a hot Sunday afternoon in Atlanta at this years FedEx Cup Tour Championship, leaving the way clear for the Texan to win the 2026 FedEx Tour Championship unchallenged.

It is a 22nd victory on the PGA Tour, and he ends the season the way he started it, with a victory.

He was the only player in the last 3 groups to break par !!!

Viktor Hovland's putter was outstanding all week, but as was well documented putts for birdies/pars at 14, 15 16 and 17 all did everything but drop, until he ran out of holes as did Young, Gerard, Aberg, Gotterup, leaving a steady but unspectacular #1 who shot 66 -16 the way to his 2nd PGA Tour Championship by 3 shots.

That wraps up the year, and likely the Player of the Year to the Texan who collects $23,000,000, then  the $10,000,000 .....$33,000,000 folks and he didn't even have his A game all year, being beat into 2nd place 5 times, without a Major...

Career total passes Tiger at $130, 390, 661.

Hovland 2nd, shot 72 -13, don't fret, it was worth $5,000,000.

Gerard shot 72 -12 to finish 3rd.

Quiet Joe Dean with his 1st win, Husqvarna British Masters.... Final Results

      DP World Tour : Husqvarna British Masters Leaderboard Results

Joe Dean won his maiden DP World Tour title on home soil as he made a remarkable 11 birdies in 24 holes on the final day of the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo.

Following a weather disrupted first two days at The Belfry, he returned to complete round three at 7.00am Sunday morning eight shots off the lead, picking up two to reduce the gap to seven heading into the final round.

And while the rest of the field battled on a blustery day, Dean made nine more birdies in a 63 which was the lowest round of the week to set the target at -14.

"Today was one of the rare days where everything just felt right and the putts were dropping," said Dean. "Almost like I couldn't do anything wrong. We saw a glimpse of that over the past two, three months, but it kind of faded by back nine or it faded after a few holes. To finally get through the entire round and feel good about it is really nice."

With the final group and closest challenger Marco Penge on the 12th two shots back, the man from Sheffield and new wife and caddie Emily faced a long wait to see if he would lift the trophy.

But big-hitting Penge could not take advantage of the par-five 15th and 17th, leaving Dean as the champion by three shots.

Spaniard Nacho Elvira, Kiwi Daniel Hillier and Danish pair Niklas Nørgaard and Jacob Skov Olsen finished in T2 -11, one ahead of Penge, Northern Irishman Tom McKibbin and German Thomas Rosenmuller all -10.

Dean was on the EuroPro Tour as recently as 2022 and did not play any ranking golf at all in 2023, the same year he earned his DP World Tour card through the Qualifying School.

But he did not tee it up until the following February due to a lack of funds and continued working as a supermarket delivery driver, while also seeking the help of a hypnotist to get him through his issues with international travel.

A runner-up finish in just his second start in his rookie 2023 season in Kenya earned him a cheque for just under 200,000 euros and he went on to make the season-ending DP World Tour Championship thanks to another runner-up finish at the KLM Open.

"All those painful hours and all the work I put into this, it's finally led to something," he said. "I'm happy. "I can't thank Emily enough for what she has to put up with with me. It was bad enough off the course and the lows and stuff like that, but now on the course and off the course.

"I hope I made her proud. I don't know. I'm at a loss for words. I think we're both just really happy and a bit rabbit in the headlights at the minute."

McKibbin joined Penge in posting a 72, -10 while Rosenmuller signed for a 68 -9 to sit a shot ahead of American Davis Bryant, Kiwi Kazuma Kobori, Swede Joakim Lagergren, Dane and 2022 champion Thorbjørn Olesen, Portuguese Daniel Rodrigues and Paraguayan Fabrizio Zanotti all -8.

Rory is the Saturday story once again....Packed leaderboard for Sunday's Tour Championship...54 hole results

     PGA Tour Championship  FedExCup Leaderboard 

Rory McIlroy shot a weekend 63 66 in 2022 to win his record 3rd Tour Championship, beating Scott Scheffler and Sungjae Im by a shot.

Rory McIlroy-2286420583

He's right back at it, finding his swing and suddenly after being last in the field in putting, gained 4 shots on everyone with a magnificent -7 63, to move into contention at -10, with a chance at his 4th title.

Tour Championship

With 4 birdies on his front nine and 5 more coming home, he gave us his summation. " I left myself in better spots on the greens, gave myself easier putts, and when I got rolling on the back it seemed like every putt was cup right or a cup left."

I played well the last couple of days but didn't get as much out of it as I would have liked. Today I pieced it together and obviously had a much better score"

LEADERS

By the time the day was over Rory's -10 finds him T7.

Viktor Hovland is yet to win a major

Viktor Hovland who leads 64 66 65 -15 is delighted with his game, for a change, in particular his short game. "When I do miss a drive, I have been able to recover, and my putting has been great."

Ryan Gerard, 2nd with 65 65 66 -14 has been right with him all week.

There are 4 players T3, with a wonderful story emerging for 46 year old Aussie, Adam Scott 66 67 65 -12, along with Ludvig Aberg, Chris Gotterup and Scott Scheffler, who continues to complain angrily, about routine misses ! Would you if you just had $23,000,000 deposited in your bank account ?

With weather being a non issue, hot sunny with a slight breeze, it should end up being a cavalry charge to the final hole of this 2026 season.
