See how Scottie Scheffler, other golfers with North Texas ties fared in PGA Championship
Scottie Scheffler finally found some normalcy as a wild weekend came to a close.
The Highland Park product had one of the PGA Championship’s best Round 4 outings Sunday, securing a top-10 finish at Valhalla Golf Club. This comes after an early-morning arrest for Scheffler on Friday, and a record-halting over-par finish on Saturday.
Here’s a look at how Bryson DeChambeau, Scheffler and other golfers with area ties fared at this year’s PGA Championship:
Bryson DeChambeau
The SMU product was consistent throughout the weekend and nearly had an opportunity to grab his second major victory. A seven-under outing in Round 4 had DeChambeau in a momentary tie with Schauffele at the top of the leaderboard.
Instead of forcing a three-hole playoff, Schauffele pulled away with a smooth birdie putt on No. 18. DeChambeau finished the event at 20-under, giving himself a key performance to build off for the rest of the season.
Scottie Scheffler
In typical Scheffler fashion, the world’s No. 1 golfer looked impressive to close out a major performance. He finished his fourth round at 6-under, tying with eventual winner Xander Schauffele for second-best outing of the day.
After a bogey on No. 1, Scheffler bounced back and maintained a clean scorecard. He posted seven birdies Sunday, bringing his total score to 13-under. Scheffler tied for eighth with Justin Thomas and Robert MacIntyre.
Tom Hoge
The former TCU golfer narrowly missed out on a top-10 finish, closing out his performance at 10-under to tie for 23rd. Only three shots separated Hoge from MacIntyre at eighth.
Hoge rebounded from a slow, 2-over Round 2 showing that pushed him down the leaderboard. His Day 4 outing was impressive, featuring five birdies to just one bogey.
Tom Kim
Kim, a Dallas resident, tied for 26th at 9-under. He had a relatively quiet Day 4, finishing his final round at 1-under.
Kim posted three bogeys on the event’s final day while recording four birdies.
Will Zalatoris and Jordan Spieth
There wasn’t a ton of separation on the leaderboard between Plano’s Zalatoris and Dallas’ Spieth. Both golfers tied for 43rd and 6-under for the event.
Spieth lost some steam on the PGA Championship’s final day, finishing Round 4 at 2-over. He was doomed by bogeys on Nos. 9, 11, 13 and 14.
On the other hand, Zalatoris struggled to find momentum-boosting shots throughout the tournament. He finished his final round at 1-under, recording four birdies and three bogeys.
What’s next?
Many notable names will make their way to Fort Worth’s Colonial Country Club next weekend for the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Scheffler and Spieth are among the golfers committed to this year’s North Texas-based tournament. Scheffler tied for third last year behind winner Emiliano Grillo, who will look to defend his title while competing for a $9.1 million purse. This year’s champion of the Charles Schwab Challenge will pocket $1,566,000, a fully restored and modernized 1975 Schwab Stingray.

Sweep in the heart of Texas: Twins beat Rangers again
A day off at the pool — and a little sunburn — didn’t stop the Minnesota Twins’ momentum.
Brooks Lee hit a three-run homer as Minnesota scored multiple runs in the first inning for the third consecutive game, and the Twins went on to complete a series sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 9-3 win Thursday.
Minnesota has won four games in a row and scored 25 runs in the three-games series in Texas. The two teams had a rare, mid-series day off on Wednesday with the England-Croatia World Cup game being played in Arlington.
“We’re locked in every day,” Lee told Audra Martin on the team’s broadcast. “Yesterday, taking time off, lay out by the pool, get a little burnt and then right back to it. We did a good job getting focused. I feel like we do that with rain delays, too, just lock back in and we’re doing it.”
Lee’s 12th homer capped a four-run first off Jack Leiter (3-7). Trevor Larnach made it 6-0 in the fourth with a two-run shot to straightaway center that just cleared the extended glove of leaping Alejandro Osuna. Larnach’s third hit was an RBI single in the fifth, and Ryan Kriedler hit a two-run homer in the eighth.
Joe Ryan (5-3) struck out seven but needed 97 pitches to get through five scoreless innings while allowing three singles. Leiter was done after the fourth, and has given up 17 runs while losing three starts in a row.
The Twins never trailed in the sweep that extended their winning streak to four, matching their longest this season. Their 14-5 record at Globe Life Field is the best for any American League opponent since the ballpark opened in 2020.
Wyatt Langford, Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue hit solo homers for the Rangers, who have lost five of six games. They are 0-15 when giving up multiple runs in the first inning.
Twins DH Josh Bell, who was born in nearby Irving and grew up in the area, had an RBI single before Lee’s homer. Bell hit a three-run homer in the first inning of the series-opening 4-2 win Monday, and had an RBI single for a 2-0 lead in the first of a 12-2 win on Tuesday.
“We’re just passing the baton each time,” Lee said of the offensive output. “Our guys are hot. They feel good and they came out swinging today. It was awesome to see. We’ve done that for a while now.”
Up next
Twins rookie left-hander Connor Prielipp (2-4, 5.26 ERA) starts Friday at Arizona. The Diamondbacks are scheduled to start right-hander Michael Soroka (8-3, 3.11).
