Xander Schauffele

Xander Schauffele delivered the knockout punch when it mattered. His lob wedge from 105 yards to 3 feet at the final hole clinched his sixth career PGA Tour ...

He failed to escape the sand with his first swing and was left with the same difficult shot. Playing one group behind, Schauffele watched Theegala’s disaster play out in front of him and knew he only needed a par to win. He splashed out with his third shot and wedged to 12 feet. On Sunday, Schauffele played solidly if not as spectacularly as he had the first three days. Still, he was winless the four previous times he’d held the 54-hole lead or co-lead and the finale turned into a battle to the finish. “It feels really good,” he said of converting his first 54-hole lead into victory.

Xander Schauffele's first individual PGA Tour win in more than three years—and sixth career PGA Tour victory—was hard earned. But it also required Sahith ...

"Everyone talks about how hard it is, and I only had the Olympics to sort of fall back on having a [54-hole] lead and kind of closing it. A front-nine 31 on Sunday had him crawling up the leaderboard, and he followed that with two straight birdies on 10 and 11 to move just one back of Schuaffele. He finally cooled off, making bogey on 12 and 13 before five straight pars to end his round, but the final result was 15 under and solo fourth. "It was incredible," he said. After starting one off the lead, he finished with a 76, the second-worst score on the course Sunday, but it didn't seem to faze Schauffele. He was steady, if unspectacular, atoning for a bogey on 2 with a 15-foot birdie on 4 and a 10-footer on 6. "I don't know what ... yeah," he said. I've never done it on the PGA Tour. ... I mean to do it in Japan and then sort of have that experience, I really tapped into that today." Schauffele, the 54-hole leader, was playing with Cantlay, his friend and partner from both the Ryder Cup and the Zurich Classic. Cantlay's day quickly developed into a nightmare, with three birdies in his first four holes, and it never got much better. Everything seemed to be building to a Sunday tour de force for a guy who had every right to feel nervous, and then it all blew up. After draining an impressive 10-foot birdie putt on 17 to take a one-shot lead on Schauffele, Theegala, a 24-year-old former college player of the year at Pepperdine turned tour rookie, hit a drive on 18 at TPC River Highlands that didn't cut the way he wanted, and got the worst possible break when the ball ran through a bunker to the very front edge. He did better, making birdie to reach 19 under and win by the deceptive margin of two shots. "Nothing," he said. However, when the final putt fell at the Travelers Championship, there was no question that the most memorable moment belonged not to the winner, but to Sahith Theegala, who finished in a tie for second.

Xander Schauffele won the 2022 Travelers Championship by two shots over J.T. Poston and Sahith Theegala for his sixth PGA TOUR victory.

Former San Diego State men's golf All-American Xander Schauffele claimed the Travelers Championship, which wrapped up Sunday in Cromwell, Connecticut.

In his three years on Montezuma Mesa, Schauffele amassed 21 top-10 finishes, 16 top-five performances and two individual titles before graduating with a degree in social science. Schauffele began the tournament with back-to-back 63s followed by a 67 in Saturday's third round. Schauffele carded a 2-under par 68 in Sunday's round on the par-70, 6,852-yard TPC River Highlands course to finish at 19-under overall.

Xander Schauffele didn't save his best golf for last, but he did just enough Sunday to secure a victory at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, ...

"I was saying earlier how Collin [Morikawa], I played a practice round with him," the 20-year-old told reporters Saturday. "I was trying to pick his brain a little bit on like how to be so good and he said to really try and do whatever it takes to be comfortable out there and understand that it's just another round of golf—that everyone's human, basically. Three and a half years in between official individual victories is amazing for a guy of Xander Schauffele’s talent. The cruelest of cruel.

A double bogey on 18 for @SRTheegala drops him out of the lead. Theegala and Poston weren't the only players who gave Schauffele a run for his money. This was a big time win." "He needed a win like this.

At the 158-yard par-3 11th, Schauffele hit a tee shot 163 yards at the green, setting himself up for the 26-foot putt for birdie. This moved Schauffele to 2 ...

This moved Schauffele to 2 under for the round. This moved Schauffele to 2 under for the round. This moved Schauffele to 1 under for the round.

Xander Schauffele won the Travelers Championship after Sahith Theegala lost his late lead with a double bogey on the 72nd hole.

Theegala made his pro debut at the Travelers in 2020 and he was trying to win for the first time in his 38th career start. He shot 76 (one stroke off the worst round of the day) and tied for 13th. Who won (kind of) without actually winning: The Travelers was the third PGA Tour start for 20-year-old amateur Michael Thorbjornsen, a Wellesley, Mass., native who just finished his sophomore year at Stanford and received a sponsor exemption into the field. He then blasted out to the fairway and did well to stick his approach from 75 yards to 12 feet, but he lipped out and made double bogey. How it happened: Schauffele entered the day with a one-shot lead over Cantlay and led Sahith Theegala by three and Kevin Kisner by four, and Schauffele increased his lead with a one-under front nine as Cantlay failed to get his round on track. He teed off on 18 with a one-shot lead over Schauffele, but Theegala found the left fairway bunker.

Xander Schauffele won the Travelers Championship by a shot at TPC River Highlands and took home nearly $1.5 million.

Xander Schauffele celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary Sunday with a dramatic victory in the Travelers Championship.

Morgan Hoffmann, who is fighting facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, finished at 2 over in his third and final tournament of the year on a three-event medical exemption. He put up a bogey-free 64, finishing with his sixth birdie of the day. "I felt really good and comfortable out there, then near the end had a couple of hiccups, which happens sometimes," said Thorbjornsen, who added that he plans to return to college in the fall. He finished with a 66. The Stanford star was looking to become the first amateur to win on the tour since Phil Mickelson did it in 1991. He needed two tries to get out of the sand. He overtook Schauffele with an 11-footer for birdie on 17, pumping his fist. "My mind was telling me to hit a good drive and then use your sand wedge or lob wedge in there and make birdie,'' Schauffele said. "To sit there and watch what happened was a bit of a shock, obviously. "It's actually happy anniversary,'' he said. I don't know how it looked, but I had room there. Schauffele had a 19-under 261 total.

Xander Schauffele was acutely aware that he hadn't won an individual PGA TOUR event since the 2019 Sentry Tournament of Champions, even if he'd captured a few – ...

“This is a big win for me mentally,” he said. “For him to win, he just needs to do everything solid; he doesn’t have to do anything immaculate. He finished up his media obligations and planned to fly back in time for a late celebration. “Austin was not very happy with me,” Schauffele said. “He was kind of searching for some winning formula that we know doesn’t really exist,” Kaiser said. “It was probably around (The Genesis Invitational at) Riviera,” Kaiser said. Doubt. Schauffele’s team – his father and coach, Stefan; his caddie, Austin Kaiser – saw the way it was eating at their man, perhaps even before he did. Schauffele was No. 4 in Strokes Gained: Putting, gaining nearly two shots on the field per day. It did click in New Orleans, Schauffele’s first TOUR win since the 2019 Sentry, breaking a streak of eight runner-up finishes without a victory. Theegala took the lead outright with a birdie on 17, but double-bogeyed the last to open the door. Kaiser reminded him of the Olympic gold medal he won last year, among other wins. And it was gnawing at him.

Xander Schauffele hit a staggering 63 greens in regulation with his Callaway Apex TCB irons in winning the Travelers Championship.

He also picked up nearly eight strokes on the field in strokes gained/putting to rank fourth; he was T-11 in putts per green in regulation Schauffele would up delivering the final-margin boosting birdie at the last. That was enough for a two-shot victory over Sahith Theegala (who double bogeyed the final hole) and J.T. Poston for his sixth PGA Tour win and first after holding the 54-hole lead.
