PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- In the first 49 years of the Players Championship, there never had been a repeat winner.
Jack Nicklaus couldn't do it (three times). Neither could Fred Couples (twice), Davis Love III (twice), Tiger Woods (twice) and so many others.
On Sunday, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler became the first back-to-back winner in the 50th edition of the "fifth major" at TPC Sawgrass, chasing down Xander Schauffele from 5 strokes back at the start of the final round to win with a 72-hole total of 20 under.
Great Scottie!
