Billy Horschel beats local favorite Scottie Scheffler to win WGC-Match Play

Scottie Scheffler took on Billy Horschel in the finals of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play at Austin Country Club.

Here's how the match played out, as well as the consolation match between Victor Perez and Matt Kuchar.

Horschel (32) def. Scheffler (30), 2 and 1

Scheffler drew first blood when Horschel hit his tee shot into the native area at No. 2, took a penalty stroke and made bogey. Scheffler had 34 feet for birdie and Horschel opted to concede the hole instead of making Scheffler two-putt for the win.

At the par-4 fifth, both men pulled their tee shots and both got lucky breaks with their balls ricocheting off trees and into the fairway.
