Scottie Scheffler Takes Internet By Storm After Historic Performance Leading USA To Gold

Scottie Scheffler ended Saturday -10, four shots back of the lead, to fellow American Xander Schauffele . However, come Sunday, you can never rule out the best player in the world.

Scheffler went on to shoot a 62 on Sunday, going nine under to gain the lead and then finish his business on the course against Tommy Fleetwood , Jon Rahm , and Hideki Matsuyama . Scheffler finished -19 and won gold for himself and the United States.

This is Scheffler's first Gold Medal, which he will now get to add to his already dominant resume at just 28 years old. He has now managed to win seven tournaments so far this year. Which is an incredible run in its own right with multiple months left of golf.

Scheffler had four straight birdies on the back nine, which was the catalyst that led him to victory. He began the day with birdies on the first three holes to start the round as well. An historic day for a historic golfer.
