"LA QUINTA, Calif. -- Scottie Scheffler started his season as though nothing had changed, running off four birdies in a six-hole stretch Sunday to blow past 18-year-old Blades Brown and the rest of the field. He closed with a 6-under 66 for a four-shot victory in The American Express."
"Brown was one shot behind 54-hole leader Si Woo Kim and one shot ahead of Scheffler heading to the tee at the par-3 fourth on the Stadium Course at PGA West. Five holes later, Brown and Kim both were five shots behind and Scheffler was putting it into overdrive. Scheffler hit a baby 8-iron to 2 feet on the fourth for birdie and found the fairway on the par-5 fifth."
Scottie Scheffler surged with four birdies in a six-hole stretch and closed with a 6-under 66 to win The American Express by four shots. The victory was his 20th on the PGA Tour, all in the last four years, earning him lifetime membership; nine of those wins came by four shots or more. Scheffler has 20 wins and four majors before turning 30, a milestone matched only by Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Eighteen-year-old Blades Brown, fresh from high school and a Korn Ferry event, faltered late, shot a 74 after 11 holes without a birdie and two late bogeys, and dropped into a tie for 18th.
