Sorotan dari putaran keempat WM Phoenix Terbuka di TPC Scottsdale di Arizona.
Scottie Scheffler mengakhiri tugas Rory McIlroy di peringkat teratas dunia setelah menyelesaikan pertahanan gelar yang sukses dengan kemenangan dua pukulan di WM Phoenix Terbuka.
Scheffler menahan tantangan kuat dari rekan bermain Jon Rahm dan Nick Taylor selama putaran final yang mendebarkan di TPC Scottsdale, dengan 65 pukulan bebas bogey yang cukup untuk memberi petenis Amerika itu gelar Tur PGA kelima dan yang pertama sejak April.
Petenis berusia 26 tahun itu membuat kartu elang dan empat birdie untuk mengakhiri minggu dengan 19 under dan dengan nyaman mengungguli penantang terdekat Taylor, yang melakukan birdie terakhir untuk menyamai putaran final Scheffler 65, dengan Rahm tertinggal lima pukulan di urutan ketiga.
Scottie Scheffler bereaksi setelah memenangkan WM Phoenix Terbuka dan kembali ke peringkat 1 dunia di TPC Scottsdale
Kemenangan membuat Scheffler menjadi pemain ketujuh yang berhasil mempertahankan gelarnya di Phoenix dan memindahkannya ke posisi kelima di klasemen FedExCup, dengan kesuksesan terakhirnya juga berarti dia akan melompati McIlroy – yang mengakhiri pekan ini dengan seri ke-32 – sebagai peringkat 1 dunia.
Bagaimana Scheffler kembali ke peringkat 1 dunia
Rahm dan Taylor segera mengurangi separuh keunggulan semalam Scheffler dengan birdie pada set pertama, hanya untuk juara Masters yang meluncur dari jarak 10 kaki pada par-empat berikutnya untuk memulihkan keunggulan dua pukulannya.
Scheffler mengonversi dari jarak yang sama pada par-lima ketiga untuk menyamai birdie rekan bermainnya, termasuk dari jarak 20 kaki oleh Rahm, kemudian melakukan par-save penting pada set kelima setelah putt pertama yang buruk berlari 10 kaki melewati lubang.
Rahm melakukan naik turun dari fairway kelima – setelah melakukan pitching dari balik pohon sebelum melakukan birdie berikutnya untuk bergerak di salah satu Scheffler, dengan Taylor berguling dari jarak 35 kaki untuk bergabung dengan petenis Spanyol itu di posisi kedua.
Taylor melakukan scramble par pada hole ketujuh dan mengklaim posisi kedua ketika Rahm melakukan bogey pada hole berikutnya, dengan petenis Kanada itu bergabung dengan Scheffler dalam membuat birdie jarak dekat pada hole kesembilan untuk tetap tertinggal satu pada turn.
Scheffler kehilangan keunggulan langsungnya ketika Taylor menjentikkan baji pada menit kesepuluh hingga tiga kaki dan membuat birdie kelima pada ronde tersebut, sementara Rahm harus melakukan lemparan 20 kaki hanya untuk menyelamatkan par pada ronde berikutnya dan tetap berada dalam jarak tiga dari keunggulan.
Taylor mengambil keuntungan dari par-lima ke-13 tetapi mendapati dirinya tertinggal satu gol ketika Scheffler melakukan pukulan elang setinggi 30 kaki untuk mencapai 18 under, sementara Rahm membuat birdie dan kemudian menyelamatkan par pada menit ke-15 setelah hampir melakukan hole dari zona degradasi.
Scheffler menerima bantuan dari dekat tribun pada par-tiga ke-16 dan pulih dari chip rata-rata untuk melakukan putt 15 kaki untuk par, yang cukup untuk memperpanjang keunggulannya ketika Taylor gagal bangkit dan turun dari kiri permukaan putting. .
Birdie lain di par-empat ke-17 yang dapat dikendarai memperpanjang bantalan Scheffler menuju lubang terakhir, di mana par sudah cukup untuk mengklaim kemenangan pertamanya musim ini dan menjadikannya pemain pertama sejak Hideki Matsuyama yang membuat kemenangan berturut-turut di Phoenix Terbuka. .
Taylor melakukan birdie terakhir untuk mengklaim solo kedua dan Rahm – salah satu dari tiga pemain yang bisa mengakhiri minggu sebagai peringkat 1 dunia – finis ketiga dengan tiga di bawah 68, sementara empat birdie dalam enam lubang terakhir mengangkat Justin Thomas ke posisi keempat.
Pukulan back-to-back 68-an Jason Day selama akhir pekan membuat petenis Australia itu finis lima besar dan Tyrrell Hatton dari Inggris berada di grup untuk tembakan lebih jauh, sementara hole-in-one di par-tiga ketujuh dari Rickie Fowler membantunya. finis di bagian kesepuluh dengan 10 under.
Scheffler “bangga” bisa kembali menjadi No 1
Sukses mempertahankan gelar Scheffler datang di tempat yang sama di mana ia membuat terobosan kemenangan gelar PGA Tour 12 bulan yang lalu, dengan kemenangan terbaru membuatnya kembali ke peringkat No 1 dunia yang dipegangnya selama 30 minggu dari kemenangan WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play terakhirnya. Berbaris menuju pertahanan gelar Piala CJ McIlroy yang sukses di bulan Oktober.
“Saya bangga dengan bagaimana saya berjuang hari ini,” kata Scheffler. “Saya tidak memiliki barang-barang terbaik saya, tetapi saya menggilingnya. Saya tidak memukulnya dengan baik dari tee, setrika saya tidak terasa setajam itu, tetapi saya memainkan permainan golf yang hebat hari ini.
“Saya mulai membangun momentum awal hari ini dan melihat beberapa putt masuk, jadi saya sangat bersyukur dengan hasilnya. Itu [returning to world No 1] rasanya cukup enak!”
