Xander Schauffele picked up his fourth win over the last 12 months with a victory at the Scottish Open on Sunday.
You can now listen to Fox News articles!Winless for more than two years, Schauffele picked up his fourth win in the last 12 months Sunday when he overcame a rough patch in the middle of his round with two key birdies and a par save for an even-par 70 to win the Scottish Open.
His 8-foot par save on the par-3 17th at The Renaissance Club gave him a two-shot lead, and the 28-year-old from San Diego played it smartly from there. He took iron off the 18th tee to avoid trouble and wound up missing an 8-foot par that only affected the margin.Kitayama had a one-shot lead on the back nine and was still tied until missing a 6-foot par putt on the 17th hole and then having to wait to see if his score would be enough.
Ryan Palmer also was in position until playing the back nine with two bogeys and no birdies and missing out by two shots. It was tougher for Alex Smalley, who only needed a par on the 18th to earn a spot. He made bogey.It wasn't easy for Schauffele, either. "This was stressful," Schauffele said."I'm not going to put makeup on the pig here. It was a very average day, probably my worst stuff this week. You can't get ahead of yourself in links golf. I was ahead, behind, ahead, behind. I just kept my head down."
He had gone more than three years without a win, dating to the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua to start 2019, and it was gnawing at him.
