Danish player gave up four-shot lead where a win would have put him in automatic places
come from a four-shot deficit at the start of the day to beat Scotland’s Bob MacIntyre at the BMW Championship for his fifth
But with the pressure on at the penultimate hole with the lead down to one stroke, Scheffler produced on his greatest shots with a miraculous greenside chip-in birdie that would go along with the very best Woods highlights of old. From the rough, Scheffler pitched the ball onto the slope and watched it roll dead weight into the middle of the cup.Scheffler finished on a 15-under-par total after a final round of 67, two shots ahead of MacIntyre who shot 73.
There were flashes of quality for McIlroy, including a superb 300-yard 3-wood over water to drive the short par 4 11th, enough to give him optimism for East Lake, a course where he has won the Tour Championship three times. The Englishman shot a four-under-par 67 which included birdies on his final two holes to beat Højgaard by a shot on 16 under. Højgaard managed to get an impressive eagle on the par 5 18th to force Penge to hole a three-footer for victory, but it was too little too late for the Dane.
