When Scottie Scheffler ever gave a place that run away with a tournament and get his first win of the season, it is on the TPC Craig Ranch.

The high-ranking golfer in the world blown out the rest of the field this week to win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his hometown event, which made his first win of 2025. Scheffler, after achieving the last round with a historic eight-shot lead into the lead of eight-shot lead.

“This tournament means a lot to me,” said Scheffler about CBS and became emotional to keep his son. “It is my first start as a professional, 11 years ago, I had my sister Caddy for me … it feels like hard work and victims for small moments like this for a lifetime. They are pretty special.”

Scheffler, who celebrated his PGA tour debut at Byron Nelson in 2014 as a 17-year-old amateur, is now the first high school golfer in the Dallas Aros, who won the tournament since 2007. He is the third person who goes to the event at the event with the wire-to-wire wire, and the first Tom Watson in 1980.

Scheffler opened the week with a 10-below 61, which he closed with two consecutive birdies after publishing a 29 on his front ninth. He then supported this round on Friday with an 8-below 63, which achieved a record lead with six shots on Midway Point. At that time he was free and only had a shot from the 36-hole value of the tour.

While Scheffler's game slowed down in the back half of the event, nobody came close to catch him. He shot a 5-below 66 shot on Saturday and made his first two bogeys of the tournament with a huge finish with three birdies in his last five holes. This gave him a lead of eight shots, which was the largest 54-hole lead on tour since 2011.

Sunday was basically a formality. Scheffler rolled the victory without any problem. He even pressed a ridiculous 10 shots very briefly after turning a simple eagle out of a fairway bunker on the ninth Par-5.

Scheffler then made three more birdies and he closed the 17th par-3 after making a very reliable mistake to make him back on the green to close his 62 and win the victory to him a check of $ 1.782 million. He had a shot on the goals of the tour of all time on the 18th green, but he hardly missed his last putt and had to let up with a par. He is now only the third golfer in tour history, together with Justin Thomas and Ludvig Åberg to shoot a 253.

Erik van Rooyen was 23 and lower for the week with 23 and lower. Sam Stevens jumped to third place with his 7-below 64. Jordan Spieth scored a 9-below 62 value on Sunday, which started fourth place on the ranking. It was his lowest season round and its best at the end of the year. He has not won since the RBC heritage in 2022.

“What he did is inspired – I think it wasn't long ago that I was definitely better than him, and now I'm definitely not now,” said Spieth about Scheffler. “I hate admitting that about everyone, but I just saw it in these first two rounds and I have to get better. It is very inspiring.”

Scheffler won an incredible seven times on tour last season, including the Masters, the Players Championship and the tour championship at the end. While he was held at the top in the official world golf ranking, Scheffler entered this week without a victory in 2025. After a late start into the season after a hand process that came from a cooking incident about Christmas, Scheffler made every cut in nine starts and had five top 10 placements this week. His worst finish was actually a T25 run in the World Cup Phoenix Open. He ended T3 at the Genesis Invitational and second in Texas Childon's Houston Open.

But finally, after a rare break for him, Scheffler sealed the deal and earned today's 14th career tour.
