Scheffler returned to Hilton Head on Monday morning holding a five-stroke lead with three holes to play after a storm halted proceedings on Sunday.
The world number one dropped a shot at the last to finish 19 under par, three shots ahead of fellow American Sahith Theegala, with Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark another stroke back.
Scheffler is the first player to win a PGA Tour event the week after claiming the Green Jacket since Bernhard Langer in 1985 and the first to win four times in five starts on the US-based circuit since Tiger Woods in 2007-08.
Each of Scheffler바카라s last seven wins have come with at least eight of the world바카라s top 10 in the field and he is the third player in the last 30 years 바카라 after Woods and Vijay Singh 바카라 to win or finish runner-up in five consecutive starts on the PGA Tour.
바카라I was able to go home for a couple days and celebrate,바카라 Scheffler said.
바카라I didn바카라t really put much thought into it. I had committed to playing the tournament here, it was part of the plan, so we stuck to the plan.
바카라I talked about it at the beginning of the week 바카라 I didn바카라t show up here just to have some sort of ceremony and have people tell me congratulations. I came here with a purpose, got off to a slow start but after that played some really nice golf.
바카라I do have fairly high expectations for myself and when I show up at tournaments, I try to do my best.
바카라I바카라ve talked a lot about kind of the preparation and what it takes for me to show up on a first tee ready to go, and I feel like I바카라ve been putting in the work and been playing some good golf, and it바카라s nice to be seeing some results for that with wins.
바카라On the course, I think the last month or so I바카라ve been as good mentally as I have in a long time and I think that바카라s why I am seeing some of the results.
바카라This week could be a good example of starting off and looking at the leaderboard on Thursday and everybody is just making birdie after birdie and I바카라m sitting there over par and I바카라ve had a shank on the day.
바카라I just did my best to stay patient and wait until I got hot.
바카라Had a nice finish to the round on Thursday and then had a really solid Friday where I felt like I played better than I scored, and then I had Saturday where I just played some really good golf.바카라
