On March 7, Beijing time, the second Arnold Palmer Invitational of the PGA Tour "Florida Swing" ended at Bay Hill Golf Club in Orlando. In the extremely difficult Bay Hills, only four players handed over the number of pars, the 54-hole tie leader Billy Hoscher and Taylor Gucci handed over 75 (+3) and 77 (+5) respectively, while the American teenager ScottY Schaeffler, who was also at the top of the list, only delivered a par number, but it did not prevent him from reversing the 1-stroke advantage with a total of four rounds of -5 to win his second PGA Tour title. He achieved his first PGA Tour win at the WM Phoenix Open last month.

A month ago, Schaeffler still didn't have an PGA Tour title, and a month later, he already has 2 wins! With this victory, the 25-year-old earned $2.16 million in prize money and 550 FedEx Cup points. His world ranking also rose from 6th to 5th, setting a new career high for him.

This week, the PGA Tour will host the players' tournament, the flagship event.
