The Highland Park product tied for fourth in the Tour Championship, finishing four shots behind winner Tommy Fleetwood. As the result set in, golf fans on social media shared their thoughts on the FedEx Cup’s format and whether the right golfer came away with a title win.

Scheffler's victory in the BMW Championship on Aug. 17, in which he rallied from four shots behind Robert MacIntyre to start the day, was his 13th top-10 finish in a row since tying for 20th at The Players Championship. Nine of them have been top-fives.

Scheffler earned 2,000 points for winning at the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., sparked by a startling chip-in from 82 feet at the par-3 17th hole. Robert MacIntyre had a four-shot lead through 54 holes but didn't make a birdie until the 16th hole. He still trailed Scheffler by only one shot before Scheffler's chip-in.
