BMW Championship: Otherworldly Scottie Scheffler clinches fifth PGA Tour title of 2025
BMW Championship leaderboard: Scottie Scheffler claimed his fifth PGA Tour victory of 2025 by seeing off a spirited challenge from Robert MacIntyre at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland.
Scottie Scheffler claimed his fifth win of the season at the BMW Championship.
Scheffler, 29, started the final round of the second leg of the PGA Tour's playoffs in Maryland trailing Robert MacIntyre by four strokes.
The Scot got off to the worst possible start, dropping three shots in his first nine holes to surrender the lead to Scheffler.
The American World No.1 stretched his lead to two strokes as the pair departed the 11th green, but dropped shots at the 12th and 14th to re-open the door for the European Ryder Cup hopeful.
Scheffler led by one stroke heading to the 17th and both players missed the green with their tee shots.
The four-time major champion then chipped in from 55 feet, sparking wild scenes, to leave MacIntyre completely stunned.
He later told reporters the final round was 'abysmal'.
Scheffler will now head to the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake as the overwhelming favourite to become the first player to win back-to-back FedEx Cup titles.
The BMW Championship represents Scheffler's fifth individual win of 2025.
Scheffler won the PGA Championship in May and The Open at Royal Portrush in July.
He also won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the Memorial.

Great tee shot from Bob
MacIntyre -12, Scheffler -13 (15*)
MacIntyre is away first at the par-4 15th. He takes driver, and goes to pick up his tee relatively quickly. That can only mean one thing. Fairway.
He'll be feeling it now.
At first, it looks as though Scheffler's golf ball finds the rough in front of the bunker.
But it's trundled into the sand.
Game on.
