Didn't quite get it done, but yeah, he's a world-class player and looking forward to him being on my team for the Ryder Cup in a few weeks' time.' Scheffler held at least a share of the lead for most of the final day before fading over the closing holes, with the six-time PGA Tour winner stunned by how Hovland closed out the tournament.'It's a pretty amazing round of golf to win this tournament like that,' Scheffler said of Hovland's 61.
