Scottie Scheffler Ties Ludvig Åberg's PGA Record with Texas Win

World number one Scottie Scheffler won the PGA tour event in Texas convincingly – and wrote himself into the history books in the process. With 253 strokes over four rounds, he tied the current record, which is also held by Swedish Ludvig Åberg.

When Scottie Scheffler took his first win, he did it in style. With a total of 31 strokes under par, he took home an easy win – and for a long time, it seemed like he would set a new record.

The American lined up birdie after birdie, plus an eagle on hole nine, and needed to par after hole 15 to land on a new record. The previous record of 253 strokes was set by Justin Thomas in 2017 – and was tied by Swedish Ludvig Åberg when he won his first title on the PGA tour in 2023.

But on hole 17, Scheffler wavered, making a bogey and had to settle for a shared record. The win means Scheffler will take home around 17 million kronor.

This tournament means a lot to me. It was my first start as a pro eleven years ago and my sister was my caddie, said an emotional Scheffler after the win.

It feels like you're laying a lifetime of hard work and sacrifices for moments like these, and they're very special.
