Xander Schauffele wins Travelers Championship after Sahith Theegala's double-bogey on 18

CROMWELL, Conn. -- Xander Schauffele won the Travelers Championship with a three-stroke swing on the final hole Sunday, hitting to 3 feet for birdie after rookie Sahith Theegala took two shots to get out of a bunker and made a double-bogey in the group ahead.

A stroke ahead entering the day, Schauffele finished with a 2-under 68 at TPC River Highlands to beat Theegala and J.T. Poston by two strokes. The Olympic champion had a 19-under 261 total.

"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.
