[View in browser]() [PGA TOUR Wire to Wire]() [scottie-trophy-keyur-plaid.jpg]() Scottie Scheffler earned his fourth tournament victory in his past five starts at the RBC Heritage. (Keyur Khamar/PGA TOUR) TEEING OFF SCHEFFLER ADDS HERITAGE PLAID JACKET TO COLLECTION Mother Nature was the only thing stopping Scottie Scheffler on a Sunday. But his win was nearly a foregone conclusion on Monday, when the world No. 1 finished his final three holes at Harbour Town to [wrap up a three-shot win and complete his second back-to-back victory this season](). A week after slipping on the green jacket, Scheffler added the RBC Heritage’s signature red tartan plaid jacket to his collection, securing his fourth victory in his last five tournaments. The exception in Scheffler’s streak was a runner-up finish in the Texas Children’s Houston Open, where he misread a birdie putt from 5 feet that would have forced a playoff. He becomes the [first player since Bernhard Langer in 1985]() to win the week after donning the Masters green jacket. Scheffler carded a 3-under 68 in the final round to finish at 19-under 265, besting Sahith Theegala by three shots with Wyndham Clark and Patrick Cantlay finishing T3 at 15-under. HORSCHEL THE KING OF CORALES Billy Horschel was unstoppable in the final round of the Corales Puntacana Championship,[firing a 9-under 63 for a two-shot victory in the Dominican Republic](). Horschel ran off four straight birdies on the front nine to get in the mix before pulling away with an eagle on the par-5 12th hole. The 2014 FedExCup winner started the final round three shots behind Wesley Bryan but tied the course record Sunday at Corales Golf Course, en route to victory and a tournament scoring record. “This game of golf is so fickle,” Horschel said after his eighth TOUR win. “You can put a lot into it and not get everything you want out of it. I knew ... I had the ability, I had the talent. I had to continue to believe the good stuff was going to come to the forefront.” The win earned Horschel a spot into the PGA Championship at Valhalla and will start his 2025 FedExCup Season next year in Kapalua for The Sentry.
