January 1, Scheffler Stuns Golf Fans With Wild Chip-In Win

Wyatt’s Take

• Scottie Scheffler clinched another PGA title with a remarkable chip on the 17th hole.
• He overcame Robert MacIntyre with grit and composure to win the BMW Championship.
• His victory brings him one step closer to joining golf’s elite with a career grand slam.

Scottie Scheffler made headlines by capturing yet another PGA Tour victory, wowing the crowd at Caves Valley Golf Club. He delivered an incredible chip on Hole 17, helping him leap past Robert MacIntyre for a two-shot win at 15-under.

This win marked his second-largest comeback, fueled by a daring play from thick rough that had fans holding their breath.

“Part of me wanted to go at the pin, and I kind of held off there on the left side,” Scheffler said of the memorable chip. “Anytime you hole a chip like that, it’s pretty nice. It looked good when it landed, looked good when it was rolling, and it was nice to see that one go in.”

MacIntyre lost his Sunday lead after a slow start and Scheffler took over with smart play, particularly on the seventh hole. He finished his round with steady nerves, locking down his fifth win of the season and matching a feat only Tiger Woods has achieved in the last four decades.

Scheffler now holds two Masters green jackets along with recent major wins, missing only the U.S. Open for a career grand slam – a milestone only a handful in golf history have reached.

MacIntyre finished at 13-under, and Maverick McNealy took third place. The top five were rounded out by Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns.

This kind of performance is what makes sports unforgettable and gives hope to anyone chasing big dreams.
