Scottie Scheffler now has two FedEx Cup trophies to his name after his victory at East Lake on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Scheffler came from three strokes back to win the Tour Championship on Sunday after he carded a superb round of 66.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old has now won three times on the PGA Tour in 2026, and he managed to turn a fairly underwhelming season into an incredible one in the last three weeks of the season, certainly as far as his win tally is concerned.<\/p>\n

Scheffler is now the highest earner in PGA Tour history<\/a> and the golf he has produced over the past few years has been nothing short of extraordinary.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler pinpoints when the momentum shifted in his favor at East Lake<\/p>\n

The world number one spoke with The Golf Channel<\/a> after his win at the Tour Championship on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Scheffler responded when asked whether there was a moment during his final round when he felt the momentum shift in his direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I birdied 13 then bogeyed 14, and I\u2019m standing on 15 tee, and there\u2019s not a shot that\u2019s more important than that, I think, on the golf course,\u201c the 30-year-old said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the rest of the course, there\u2019s not too much trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no water hazards, and all of a sudden, you\u2019ve got a shot that\u2019s essentially worth two, because if you miss the green, you\u2019re going to the drop zone, hitting three.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I just flushed a six iron. I thought I hit it to a foot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really hit it exactly how I wanted to, and got myself a nice look that I thought I made, but I felt like that was a really good momentum for me going into the last few holes.\u201c<\/p>\n
