Scheffler's quest for fourth victory at RBC Heritage interrupted by darkness

Posted : 22 April 2024

Scottie Scheffler, the reigning Masters champion, found himself on the verge of clinching his fourth victory in five starts this season at the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage as Sunday's play halted due to darkness. Holding a commanding five-stroke lead with only three holes remaining, Scheffler was poised to achieve a remarkable feat, potentially becoming the first player since Tiger Woods in 2007/08 to secure four wins within a five-tournament span.

 

However, a suspension in play lasting two hours and 32 minutes due to adverse weather conditions thwarted Scheffler's bid for an immediate triumph. The interruption, caused by storms and heavy rain at Harbour Town in Hilton Head, South Carolina, forced the postponement of the final round to Monday, leaving the outcome uncertain.

 

Scheffler, occupying the top spot in the world rankings, remained at 20 under-par for the tournament, maintaining a significant lead over a group of competitors trailing at 15-under. If Scheffler were to secure victory, he would emulate Bernhard Langer's achievement in 1985, being the first player since then to win both the Masters and the Heritage consecutively.

 

Despite challenges, Scheffler's resilience shone through, exemplified by his performance on the 15th hole amidst encroaching darkness. Despite a wayward approach shot leading to a water hazard and a subsequent penalty stroke, Scheffler's adept recovery and par putt underscored his composure and determination to preserve his flawless record since the tournament's outset.

 

As the round concludes on Monday, Scheffler remains focused, treating the final three holes with the same intensity as a full round of golf. Meanwhile, competitors like Wyndham Clark, who completed his round with a six-under 65, expressed satisfaction with their performance despite fluctuations in scoring, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the sport.
