A new era of golf excellence has begun! World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has made history, achieving a remarkable feat that hasn't been accomplished since Tiger Woods. But here's where it gets controversial...
Scheffler, the reigning champion of two major titles in 2025, dominated the American Express tournament in La Quinta, California, with an impressive nine birdies in a single round. Despite a minor hiccup with a double-bogey, he still managed to secure a comfortable four-shot victory with a total score of 261.
And this is the part most people miss... Australian legend Jason Day, at 37 years old, climbed up the leaderboard with an outstanding performance, finishing just behind Scheffler. This achievement marked Day's 100th top-100 finish on the PGA Tour, an incredible milestone that puts him in the company of Australian greats like Bruce Crampton, Greg Norman, and Adam Scott.
Day shared his excitement, saying, "Reaching this milestone was a goal I was very passionate about. It's a little notch in my cap that I'm incredibly proud of."
But the story doesn't end there. Scheffler, at only 29 years old, became the first player since Tiger Woods to reach 20 US PGA Tour titles before turning 30. An incredible achievement that solidifies his place among the golf legends.
"It's a challenging journey, but staying patient and executing at the right moments has paid off," Scheffler humbly stated.
The final round scores speak for themselves, with Scheffler's consistent performance throughout the tournament.
