Add it to the list of achievements for Scheffler. He shoots 67 in the final round, shoots 20 under for the week and, with his 10-under head start, finishes the Tour Championship at 30 under.

With this birdie at the last, Theegala claims solo third place and the $7.5 million bonus that comes with it. He shoots 21 under this week at East Lake and finishes at 24 under (with the 3-under start).

Xander Schauffele made three straight birdies to finish his round, including rolling in a 37-footer at the last from off the green to make it a three-way tie for fourth place.

Schauffele, Adam Scott and Russell Henley will tie for fourth and will each earn $4.83 million.

Barring some massive changes, the top 3 appear set. An Adam Scott birdie on 18, however, would make a difference.

1. Scottie Scheffler: -30 (16)
2. Collin Morikawa: -25 (16)
3. Sahith Theegala: -22 (16)
T4. Adam Scott: -19 (17)
T4. Russell Henley: -19 (62)

Solo fourth place pays $6 million. Solo fifth pays $5 million.

Since his shank bogey at the eighth, Scheffler has played his next six holes in 5 under.

An eagle at the 14th — compared to Collin Morikawa’s birdie — gives Scheffler a five-shot lead with four holes to play. He’s also at 30 under par (having started the tournament at minus-10).

Russell Henley is hoping for a pick from U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk. Henley showed the skipper something on Sunday, firing a 62 at East Lake, capped by a chip-in at the last.

Make it three-in-a-row for Scheffler as he rolls in a 15-footer for birdie at the 11th.

There was drama for a few minutes, but the world No. 1 has regained control with a five-shot lead and seven holes to play.

Scheffler hits his approach shot to 3 feet on the par-4 10th and makes birdie. And just like that, he’s back to a four-stroke lead.

Theegala had an 8-footer for birdie at the 10th and an 11-footer for birdie at the 11th but missed them both. He remains two back of second place, Collin Morikawa.

After a shank, a bogey and a two-shot swing all going against him, Scheffler stuffs his tee shot on the 236-yard, par-3 ninth to 5 feet. He makes the putt to regain a three-shot lead.

Following his bunker shank, Scheffler bogeys the easy par-4 eighth (the only bogey from anyone in the field on Sunday). Collin Morikawa makes birdie and now the difference is only two shots.

1. Scottie Scheffler: -25 (8)
2. Collin Morikawa: -23 (8)
3. Sahith Theegala: -21 (9)

Scottie Scheffler hit his tee shot on the drivable par-4 eighth into a greenside bunker and then shanked — yes, the ‘S’ word — his sand shot right and over the green.

Scheffler hit his tee shot on the par-4 seventh into the below position but managed to give himself a 5-footer for par ... which he missed.

Scheffler now stands at 26 under, four clear of Collin Morikawa.

Sahith Theegala has made three birdies in a row on Nos. 6-8 and is now one back of Collin Morikawa for second place.

Constant reminder: There is a $5 million difference between second ($12.5 million) and third ($7.5 million) place.

Well, Collin Morikawa has picked up a couple of strokes on the fourth (birdie) and fifth (Scottie Scheffler bogey) holes. He creeps back within five of the lead.

Playing the par-4 fourth, Morikawa hit his tee shot into the fifth fairway. He then struck a perfect approach to 16 feet and made the cut. That got him within six of Scottie Scheffler but, more importantly, kept him three clear in the race for second.

Scheffler led by seven after Day 1 and is seven clear again after a birdie on the second hole. He’s at 27 under par.

After a bad opening tee shot, Morikawa needed to get up and down from 98 yards for par. He didn’t do so and dropped six back of Scottie Scheffler, who made an 8-footer to remain at 26 under.

The big race might be for second place, which pays $12.5 million compared to $7.5 million for third. Morikawa is now three shots clear of Sahith Theegala. Xander Schauffele is four back.

Scottie Scheffler, who has bogeyed the first hole two of the last three days, splits the fairway. Collin Morikawa finds the right rough.

Scheffler leads Morikawa by five and Morikawa is four clear of third place.

Scoring better than his Florida Gators on Saturday, Horschel has two birdies and eagle over his first nine hole in Sunday’s final round. He’s moved into a tie for 22nd.

Some potential picks, particularly on the U.S. side, are near the bottom of the Tour Championship leaderboard. Notables:

• Billy Horschel is 3 under today through 6;
• Akshay Bhatia is 3 over through 5;
• Tony Finau is even through 5;
• Keegan Bradley is even through 5;
• Justin Thomas bogeyed his first hole.

Not quite the same vibes, but Scottie Scheffler arrives Sunday at East Lake looking to do what Tiger Woods did in 2018 (using wired technology from around the same time).

The winner will get $25 million but there is A LOT more money to be doled out to the field of 30 on Sunday.
