Scottie Scheffler has continued his incredible dominance on the PGA Tour with victory at the RBC Heritage.
Bad weather on Sunday forced a Monday finish, but with the world number one holding a four-shot lead with three holes to play, the end result was a foregone conclusion.
Although Scheffler went on to bogey the last, the American would prevail by three shots to secure his fourth victory in five tournaments, with his other outing being runner-up.
The recently-crowned Masters champion finished ahead of Sahith Theegala, who earned second on his own ahead of Wyndham Clark and Patrick Cantlay.
