ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler’s second FedEx Cup title and his 22nd career victory on the PGA Tour during this astonishing five-year run was different from all the others, even if it looked all too familiar.
Scheffler celebrated with a beer.
He had just closed his final round at the Tour Championship with a 4-under-par 66 at East Lake Golf Club — no one else from the leading six players broke par — and Scheffler had to wait for the last two groups to finish to make it official Sunday evening.
“There was an open bar inside, and I’m like, ‘All right, I’m grabbing a beer.’ It tasted great,” Scheffler said. “I don’t really drink often. My wife and manager were like, ‘Wow, I haven’t seen you have a beer in a long time.’ Well, season’s over now. I’m going to have a beer. Well-earned beer.”
There was no arguing that, and there’s no longer a debate over who had the best season in golf.
