WM Phoenix Open 2024: Top 10 power rankings at TPC Scottsdale
OWGR: 1st. FedEx Cup: 5th. Scottie Scheffler. Phoenix Open/Power Rank/1. 1
Who else but Scottie Scheffler could hold down the top spot this week?
The world No. 1 is seeking a three-peat at the WM Phoenix Open. In 2022, the Texan fired 68-71-62-67 to reach 16-under and enter a playoff where he beat Patrick Cantlay on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff. That was his first PGA Tour win. It opened the floodgates as he’s now a six-time champ.
He worked his way back from third place to start the day and made four birdies in his final six holes on Sunday.
Last year saw Scheffler card 68-64-68-65 (-19) to win in two in regulation over Nick Taylor.
He led the field in Strokes Gained: Approach (9.482) and scrambling (87.5%) while finishing third in greens in regulation (77.78%).
“I love the environment here. It's a lot of fun to play,” Scheffler was transcribed by ASAP Sports in 2023. “I think the firmness of the golf course really suits me. Having the ability to play a lot of different shots. Hit it high, hit it low.”
He also took T-7th (67-65-66-70) at TPC Scottsdale in 2021.
