Scheffler finishes Players Championship without third consecutive title

Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, finished the Players Championship at 4-under par, missing his chance for a third consecutive title. Despite frustrations during the tournament, he feels close to his best form and is preparing for the Masters. Tom Hoge, who has made seven consecutive cuts at the Players, led the tournament at 10-under par but narrowly missed a birdie putt that could have secured his win. He finished with a 6-under par in the final round. Keegan Bradley, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, achieved a hole-in-one on the 13th hole during the final round.
