Scotty Sheffler is on fire as he gears up for the RDER Cup, notching his sixth PGA Tour victory of the season at the Procore Championship. A clear statement that he’s ready to dominate. But here’s where it gets interesting. Despite a strong challenge from Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin, Shuffler’s relentless play on Sunday sealed the deal with a five under 67, showcasing why he’s currently the world’s number one golfer. held in Napa, California. The tournament saw Shuffler erase a two-shot deficit to Griffin, who was threatening to push the event into a playoff. However, Griffin’s hopes slipped away on the final hole when he three putted the par 518th from a daunting 60 ft, settling for par and finishing just one stroke behind Sheffller. Griffin, who started the day with an impressive streak of three consecutive birdies, ended with a 70. His birdie attempt on the last hole, a five-foot putt, narrowly missed, catching the edge and spinning away. A painful near miss that marked the second time this year he’s finished runner up to Sheffler. Earlier this year, Sheffller and others had identified the Procore Championship as an ideal tuneup event for the Rider Cup team. This was a strategic move to avoid the mistake made two years ago when nearly the entire team had a month off before the Rome matches, potentially losing their competitive edge. But once the tournament began, Sheffller’s focus shifted entirely to winning. “I knew I had to deliver another strong performance,” Sheffller said, reflecting on his weekend comeback where he made up eight shots on Griffin with rounds of 64 and 67. I’m just grateful to come out on top this week. This victory marked Sheffller’s 19th career PGA Tour win, further cementing his status as a dominant force heading into the RDER Cup, where the US team faces a European squad that has held the upper hand for much of the past 30 years. Meanwhile, Lanto Griffin faced immense pressure himself, entering the fall portion of the PGA Tour schedule, ranked 142nd in the FedEx Cup standings, Griffin was fighting to secure one of the coveted 100 full tour cards available this season. Rising to the occasion, he fired a 65 to claim solo third place, his best finish in nearly four years. This strong showing propelled him up to number 100 in the standings with two months and at least five tournaments left to improve his position. “This is huge for me,” Griffin admitted. “One of my goals this week was to put myself in a position to succeed. “Honestly, I wish Scotty hadn’t been here, but I’m sure the fans enjoyed the competition, and enjoy it they did.” The crowd at Silverado was the largest since the tournament relocated to Napa’s wine country in 2014, with most fans rallying behind Sheffller. His achievement places him alongside Tiger Woods as the only players in the last 40 years to win six or more tournaments in back-to-back seasons, a remarkable feat. Sheffller began the final round two shots behind and even fell four shots back early on, but he chipped away steadily, carding four birdies in the first 10 holes. After a frustrating three putt bogey from 15 ft on the 11th hole, he bounced back with birdies on both parfives to seize the lead, especially as Griffin struggled to maintain momentum. Griffin, however, was far from out of it. He made a clutch 15 ft birdie putt on the par 515th and came agonizingly close on the next two holes with long birdie attempts that just missed. On the 18th he faced a 60 ft eagle putt that could have forced a playoff with two putts, but he couldn’t convert, leaving Sheffler to claim victory. Adding to the excitement was Auburn Jr. Jackson Kven, the world’s number one amateur who played in the final group. Kovven was just two shots behind with seven holes remaining, but faltered with a soft bogey on the par five and another bogey on the 13th after overshooting the green. He finished with a 71, tying for fourth alongside Ameliano Grill, who shot a 66. This marked Quaven’s fourth consecutive top 11 finish on the PGA Tour. An impressive run for a 20-year-old balancing college commitments. He’s set to compete in the Sanderson Farms Championship in 3 weeks unless his academic schedule dictates otherwise. The Procore Championship featured one of the strongest fields in recent memory with all but two members of the US Rider Cup team competing ahead of the September 26 to 28 matches at Beth Page Black. US Captain Keegan Bradley was present through Friday, and the PGA of America went so far as to rent a mansion nearby to serve as a Rder Cup team room nestled among the vineyards. A unique setting for team strategy and bonding. Other notable performances included US Open champion JJ Spawn, who shot a 66, and Cameron Young, who finished with a 67. Both ended up in the top 10. Sam Burns electrified the crowd by holding out from the 18th fairway for an eagle to card a 67 while Russell Henley finished in the top 20 with a 72. So what does all this mean for the RDER Cup? Shuffler’s dominant form suggests he’s peing at just the right time, but Griffin’s surge and Quiven’s impressive amateur consistency add layers of intrigue. Could the US team strategy of staying competitive right up to the RDER Cup pay off? Or might the pressure and fatigue from such a packed schedule backfire? And here’s a question worth debating. Is it better for players to rest before a major team event or to keep competing to maintain sharpness? Share your thoughts. Do you agree with Sheffller’s approach or do you think the old strategy of resting has merit? The conversation is wide open.
