Scottie Scheffler did not win the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club; Wyndham Clark took the title on Aug. 23 with a three-shot victory over Patrick Cantlay at 17-under 263. Scheffler, the World No. 1, played the week while battling hand-foot-and-mouth disease, a viral illness that sapped his energy over the four rounds. Despite the illness, he closed with a 2-under 68 in the final round to post a top-10 finish.
Scheffler had entered the week among the tournament favorites, but early-week struggles tied to his illness left him well off the pace set by Clark, Cantlay and Rory McIlroy, who finished solo third. His week became more a story of grinding through illness to a respectable finish than a title defense; he had won the event the previous year.
The community had priced Scheffler's win at 52% yes, close to even odds given his status as the top-ranked player, but Clark's closing birdies decided the tournament instead.
