Scheffler Overcomes Pain In The Neck To Defend Players Title As Theegala Record Top-10 Finish

By IANS News March 18, 2024 • 15:56 PM View: 416

The Players Stadium Course: Scottie Scheffler overcame a painful neck injury to become the first player to successfully defend his title at the US $25 million The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.

Scheffler lived up to the adage “beware the injured golfer” as he overcame a neck injury, firing a closing 64 to overcome an overnight five-stroke deficit and pip overnight leader Xander Schauffele (70), Brian Harman (68) and Wyndham Clark (69) by a single stroke after a pulsating final round.

With his 20-under winning total, he successfully defended his title at TPC Sawgrass.
