Scottie Scheffler erased a four-shot deficit in five holes and then delivered a haymaker on the daunting par-3 17th by chipping in from 82 feet for birdie that carried him to victory Sunday in the BMW Championship for his fifth PGA Tour title of the year.
By closing with a 3-under 67 for a 2-shot victory, Scheffler became the first player since Tiger Woods (2006-07) to win at least five times on the PGA Tour in consecutive years.

Scottie Scheffler draws another Tiger Woods comparison with comeback win at BMW Championship
Scheffler trailed by four shots entering the final round at Caves Valley but quickly overcame that and then chipped in late, to capture his fifth PGA Tour win of the season.
Hours before winning the BMW Championship, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was playing lacrosse with friend and fellow tour pro Sam Burns.
Both players flew their tee shots at the 17th hole over the green. Scheffler, playing first, plopped his shot out of heavy rough, landing on a downhill slope 65 feet short of the hole. The ball rolled, rolled, then rolled more, finally dying in the hole to ignite the gallery and leave MacIntyre looking at Scheffler in disbelief.
