Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler secured his fifth PGA TOUR title of the year, showcasing a phenomenal performance that included a remarkable chip-in. Scheffler, with 18 career titles, aims for FedExCup glory.
Akshay Bhatia endured a tense finish at the BMW Championship, managing to narrowly clinch the 30th and final spot for the Tour Championship despite dropping four bogeys in six holes. Ranked 29th in the FedEx Cup standings at the start of the week, his overall performance saved him.
Scottie Scheffler delivered another remarkable showing, overcoming a four-shot deficit to ultimately claim his fifth PGA TOUR title this year. His incredible chip-in from 82 feet on the par-3 17th sealed his victory at 15-under 265, setting him two shots clear of Scotland's Robert MacIntyre.
Scheffler now stands poised to potentially become the first player to repeat as FedExCup champion. Meanwhile, players like Rickie Fowler failed to advance, emphasizing the challenges and stakes of this high-caliber competition.
