Scheffler, who won his second Masters title last week, displayed remarkable composure throughout the tournament, sealing the win with a 19-under total. His run of success has been unparalleled, making him the first player since Tiger Woods to achieve four victories in five starts.

Observers were initially skeptical of Scheffler’s decision to play at the RBC Heritage following his Masters win, but the golfer reaffirmed his commitment to the tournament. His unwavering focus and mental fortitude propelled him to another remarkable victory.

Throughout the tournament, Scheffler demonstrated exceptional performance, topping key statistical categories and showcasing a level of consistency rarely seen in golf.
