Despite just one birdie in Match Play championship round, Billy Horschel wins event in Texas

AUSTIN, Texas -- Billy Horschel didn't find much to admire about his golf on Sunday, except that he was the last man standing in the Dell Technologies Match Play.

And that was a thing of beauty.

Horschel won six out of his seven matches over 122 holes in the longest week in golf, and he had just enough left in the tank in strong wind to hold off Scottie Scheffler, 2 and 1, in a sloppy championship match at Austin Country Club.

His only birdie was a chip-in from 40 feet below the fifth green, yet Horschel didn't lose another hole.
