"Scottie Scheffler wanted to stay sharp ahead of the Ryder Cup and the world's No. 1 player looked every bit of that Sunday, closing with a 5-under 67 to win the Procore Championship for his sixth PGA Tour victory of the year. Scheffler made up a two-shot deficit on Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin, who was poised to force a playoff until he three-putted the par-5 18th from 60 feet for par to finish one behind."
"He had a birdie putt from 5 feet on the 18th that caught the left edge and spun away. It was the second time this year he has finished runner-up to the world's No. 1 player. Scheffler was one of the players who earlier in the year targeted the Procore Championship as a good spot for the Ryder Cup team to play so they could avoid the mistake of two years ago when all but two of them had a month off before the Rome matches."
"Lanto Griffin had as much pressure as anyone, coming into the Fall portion of the schedule at No. 142 in the FedEx Cup in the first year of only 100 players keeping full cards. He delivered a 65 to finish alone in third, his best finish in nearly four years. That moved him up to No. 100 in the standings with two months and at least five tournaments to go."
Scottie Scheffler closed with a 5-under 67 to win the Procore Championship, his sixth PGA Tour victory of the year and 19th career win. Scheffler erased a two-shot deficit, making up eight shots over the weekend with a 64-67 finish. Griffin had a chance to force a playoff but three-putted the par-5 18th from 60 feet for par and finished one behind after starting the final round with three straight birdies. A 5-foot birdie try on the 18th caught the left edge and spun away. Lanto Griffin shot 65 to finish third and moved to No. 100 in the FedEx Cup standings. Silverado hosted its largest crowd since the tournament moved to wine country in 2014.
