American shoots flawless 65 on final day at Royal Troon to beat Justin Rose by two shots and claim his second major of the year
was a tournament that needed winning. Carpe diem. There was no sitting back and waiting for victory to come. Only two strokes separated the top eight at the start of play. The Claret Jug had to be earned, chased down, taken. Enter the X-man, Xander Schauffele.
Though he earned his first major victory just two months ago at the PGA championship, and heads to Paris next week as the defending Olympic champion, neither distinction was enough to disturb the pre-tournament narrative. You might have thought a major title in May at a course named after the resting place of mythical Norse Gods, Valhalla, would have carried more weight. Alas no.. He never got deeper than four under par and after a double bogey at the ninth dropped out of contention.
