Scheffler Wins BMW Championship to Take FedEx Cup Lead

Robert MacIntyre entered the BMW Championship final round with a four shot lead, but Scheffler surged in the early stretch and took the lead by the sixth hole. MacIntyre fought to stay in range with steady play, yet Scheffler kept the pressure on and pulled away as the round progressed, helped by a clutch moment on the par 3 17th.

This win reinforces Scheffler's ability to rise under pressure and reinforces his status as golf's most consistent finisher when the stakes are highest. He thrives when the leaderboard tightens and playoff golf demands peak performance. For MacIntyre, the four shot cushion fading shows how quickly a lead can evaporate in a high stakes round and highlights the depth of playoff golf. The BMW victory reshapes the playoff narrative, placing Scheffler firmly as the favorite heading into East Lake and signaling that the field must chase a momentum built over the season.

Highlights

Momentum is a quiet force and Scheffler knows how to use it.
