Scheffler seals BMW Championship win

Scottie Scheffler takes the BMW Championship in Maryland after erasing Robert MacIntyre's four-shot overnight lead.

Scheffler overtakes MacIntyre to win BMW Championship

Scottie Scheffler won the BMW Championship in Maryland, turning a four-shot cushion held by Robert MacIntyre into a victory for the world number one. MacIntyre opened with back-to-back bogeys and added another at the fifth, allowing Scheffler to seize control. By the seventh hole Scheffler had moved in front and he pulled away with a clutch chip-in at the 17th to secure a two-shot margin.
MacIntyre finished with a three-over-par 73, registering only one birdie, and could not explain why his distance control went off during the round. He spoke afterward of a rough start and a need to figure out why his shots were flying past their targets.

This result highlights Scheffler’s ability to close when it matters. He did not panic as MacIntyre stumbled, and his late chip at 17 shows the small, decisive moments that separate winners from runners-up.
For MacIntyre, the lesson is harsh but clear: a big overnight lead can disappear quickly when pressure rises. The episode underscores how mental focus and precision under late round stress shape outcomes on the PGA Tour, even for players with a strong season record.
